But if things work with Win9x, but not with Win2K, then maybe it's Win2k's fault? This remembered me to some woes of Win2k's early days, when people found out, that Win2k will clobber the OS/2 boot manager. This thing lives on its own small partition, which wasn't recognized by Win2k properly and therefore destroyed (nothing intentional, of course ;-) ). There is a patch for Win2k to solve this problem. If the IBM laptop has its own small partition for BIOS stuff, like some other brands, this could be a possibility. Check the Microsoft knowledge base for the exact problem description, maybe you find some points, which ring your bells. As far as I know this patch didn't manage to be included in the first service pack, but has to be still applied by hand. Just a suggestion, as I don't even know, where the problem actually is :-) Ciao Siegbert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
