Windoze is on ad0s1 and FBSD is on ad0s2. At the moment I'm looking into restoring XP's MBR and then utilizing it's boot manager by copying the FreeBSD boot blocks. I know this can be done with Linux, we'll see about FreeBSD. =) I can't believe this isn't working, I've had great success in the past with dual-booting. The mainboard is a Shuttle AK12 and I just flashed the BIOS to the latest version. It's not the newest board, so I'm wondering if I'm running into the 1024 cylinder limit thing. Help me out here guys, I'm trying to make a convert out of my friend! Thanks, Mike
