All works fine on the new drive with the exception of the boot manager. After moving BSD I used fdisk to delete the Unix partition from the second hard drive. When I boot the computer boot easy displays three options- Dos, FreeBSD, and the second, now unused drive. How can I modify boot manager to remove this old information? With regard to the original installation I have tried to re-partition the second hard drive to rebuild my Win95 system but I am having problems with fdsik. I can delete partitions from this disk but when I try to add a dos partition fdisk just hangs. I believe there are some remnants of FreeBSD on the original disk which are interfering with the fdisk procedure. Can you suggest a fix? David R. Myers david.r.myers@boeing.com
