when i made a boot disk for FreeBSD, i made it like it said, then i placed it in my A: drive, rebooted, then this message came up: ------------------------------(THIS IS NOT EXACTLY AS IT WAS PRINTED ON MY SCREEN)-- PRESS F5 for HELP ... Disk 2 ...F? BOOT: ------------------------------(THIS IS NOT EXACTLY AS IT WAS PRINTED ON MY SCREEN)-- this is the general screen that it printed on my computer, it wouldnt let me do anything, so i removed the disk and rebooted my computer. then it would not let me boot at all, so i used a Win95 BOOT disk to access my hard drives, when i then noticed that the FreeBSD BOOT disk must have repartitioned my hard drives, it made them empty, and unaccessable from DOS. the system was in some kind of weird characters, not in ALPHA form, (i.e. alphabet letters). because of it, i lost all my personal information, files, and even Windows 95 and the FreeBSD files...i then had to low-level format my hard drives just to get FDISK to recognize them as Hard Drives and not removable media or write-protected media. could you please help me out by telling me what happened, like why it did that to my hard drives... please email me back ASAP so i can figure out what to do now sincerely, Jay Greever, (aka--ThE inFAMouS LostTime)
