I think I did mistake and > installed boot manager also on the FreeBSD disk. I don't know whether the Freebsd boot manager can boot NT. Afaik it can't directly boot an OS from the second disk. It can however chain to the boot manager that's located in the MBR of the second disk. If this is also a Freebsd boot manager that one should be able to boot Freebsd on the second disk. > My problem: I don't know how I can to delete one. If Freebsd is the only OS on the second disk I'd leave that one. If you see `DOS' as an option in the boot manager of the first disk, this is probably the NT one. Have you tried that? I can't tell you how to restore the NT masterboot record on the first disk. Probably with the tree installation floppy and the emergency floppy. At some point you have four options. Pick the right one. -Hanspeter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
