Under sysinstall, the disk partition configuration follows: Disk name: ad0 FDISK Partition Editor DISK Geometry: 4866 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 78172290 sectors (38170MB) Offset Size(ST) End Name PType Desc Subtype Flags 0 63 62 - 12 unused 0 63 15454467 15454529 ad0s1 4 NTFS/HPFS/QNX 7 15454530 35776755 51231284 ad0s2 4 extended DOS, LBA 15 51231285 26941005 78172289 ad0s3 8 freebsd 165 78172290 5502 78177791 - 12 unused 0 My problem is that in my second Primary Partion ad0s2 (which is extended partition under w2k), I have two partitions which are D: drive as in NTFS and E: drive as in FAT32 file system. But I can't separate them under freeBSD: PEARLBSD# ls /dev/ad0* /dev/ad0 /dev/ad0s2 /dev/ad0s3a /dev/ad0s3c /dev/ad0s3e /dev/ad0s5 /dev/ad0s1 /dev/ad0s3 /dev/ad0s3b /dev/ad0s3d /dev/ad0s3f /dev/ad0s6 There is no such a thing as /dev/ad0s2a and /dev/ad0s2b. What I want is to mount my E: drive but i can't. PEARLBSD# mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s2 /mnt/E msdosfs: /dev/ad0s2: Invalid argument PEARLBSD# mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s2 /mnt/E ntfs: /dev/ad0s2: Invalid argument I do can mount /dev/ad0s1 which is my C: drive: PEARLBSD# mount -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/E PEARLBSD# cd /mnt/E PEARLBSD# ls $AttrDef CONFIG.SYS WUTemp $BadClus Documents and Settings ZinioInstall.txt $Bitmap Downloads arcldr.exe $Boot IO.SYS arcsetup.exe $Extend MSDOS.SYS boot.ini $LogFile My Music bootex.log $MFTMirr NTDETECT.COM bootfont.bin $Secure Program Files ntldr $UpCase RECYCLER odbcconf.log $Volume System Volume Information AUTOEXEC.BAT WINNT Can somebody help me with that?
