On my one box that has a 5G windows installation, I had (after the w2k) my RH-8.0. Last night I deleted the Linux stuff leaving only "NTFS". I then tryed to install' FreeBSD on the remaining ~~34G, but when I went to the menu to create the slices, a screen showed the err message "Can't create /dev/ad0s2e [or whatever]." Am I doing something dense? Upon quitting F1 pointed to "??" which I let bring up windows. Only a week ago I booted RH without any problem so it doesn't seem likely that the roughly 33-34GB are suddenly trashed. I did try to use *all* of the remaining disk, then use the FBSD bootloader, then chose "A" for the automatic default. Got error message; then started over and tried using 30G, then 25G, then 15 and 10GB. Any suggestions on what I can try next? gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
