Hi Allan, > Now that I have fallen in love with FreeBSD, I no longer have a need > for the windows XP Partition > > I would like to erase it, format it as FreeBSD, and mount it has > /usr/home2 the easiest thing would be to use sysinstall (but as always: backup your data). Activate it with: /stand/sysintall Then go to the configuration menue and the fdisk section. There you should see two slices: your existing freebsd slice and the XP-Slice. You now should be able to delete the XP-Slice and Create a new FreeBSD Slice (the second one). Within this slice you can create the new partitions. If you want to go further into it, there's a chapter in the handbook (adding new disks). The disklabel and fdisk manpages should clearify things, also. -volker -- Please don't cc me: I read the lists and don't need your message twice :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
