Everything is fine except that after using FreeBSD if I try to go into windows, the system locks up. If I turn the power off and back on after attempting to boot windows once, it works fine. I realize several things: 1) The 4 gigs occupied by windows would make a dandy filesystem for BSD (but I need windows for work). 2) The computer may be recoiling at the prospect of going from an OS which is a Good Thing to one that is the quintissential Bad Thing. 3) It isn't FreeBSD's job to make M$ products work. Any ideas? Thanks! Mark Van Tuyl __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
