I even Does this error look something like: Invalid boot code 0000 (expected wxyz) Please check your disk drive.... I wrote down this error some where. I had BSD running on this 6.4G IBM UDMA drive. I can install win95, win98 and it had freebsd previously. Also tried dual booting with 95 & NT, but same problem except I cannot access the 95 either !! May be I should try and check if I can install FreeBSD again.. I did try the dedicated partition once, but am not sure if it is the same drive ;( The NT setup groups haven't been much help. > tried booting off my FreeBSD cdrom and laying booteasy back on again after > the NT first stage install.
