My laptop dual boots winXP and FreeBSD. However i now need to install Red Hat for a project im doing in college. so i want to get rid of my BSD installation to free up some space. and im in a major rush. i dont really have the time to spend on figuring it out and the BSD manual hasn't helped. Can i just wipe my BSD installation by formatting the partiton with partition-magic in windows? what effect does the BSD boot manager have on my xp installation? has it deleted my xp boot loader? if how do rectify this? ____________________________________________________________ Danny Browne _________________________________________________________________ Sign up for eircom broadband now and get a free two month trial.* Phone 1850 73 00 73 or visit http://home.eircom.net/broadbandoffer
