You can't install FreeBSD to extended partition. You'll need to delete it and FreeBSD installation process will create another primary partition into the free space. Of course if some of your FAT32 logical drives already have data in them, You'll need to move it out of the way first. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Work is for people who don't know how to fish.
