But when i switch it in BIOS from auto, OS can`t even boot up. And how to say FreeBSD proper mode i don`t know. --------------------------------------- Bye Alexis Rossikhin alexxisr@mail.ru --------------------------------------- On Tue, 24 Aug 2004, Olivier Gautherot wrote: > Hi Chiheb! > > Chiheb Djabri wrote: > > >Hello > > > >I am New To Freebsd. I tried to create partitions for Freebsd using FDISK but It does not detect my disk correctly. The thing is I have a 37 Gb of Hard Drive; 5 Gb are allocated for Windows 98 (FAT32), ~23,5Gb for Windows XP (NTFS) and I have the rest of Disk partitionioned with Gentoo. I thought to use this partitions for Freesbd.
