Partitioning has always scared the crap out of me, but I still tried partitioning once in order install FreeBSD, and lost my drive... =\ Now I'm even more insecure about partitioning.... I was wondering if someone can give me detailed instructions on how to partition the drive perfectly, to run win98 and freebsd together... Info such as how many partitions i need to make, how many "slices" i need to make, and how to do all this without losing any more information....even if it means resorting to a third party program such as Partition Magic.... Any information possible, would be greatly appreciated...thank you. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
