Discussing ntfs/mbr thread a question came by. How do I remove the BSD boot manager if I want to use the windows XP one. thanks in advance Gerardo _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ There's likely something else you can do in XP, but I've never used XP - th= ese are the ways I know. Boot to DOS using a Win98 boot floppy. (If you don't have one, format a:/s= may work in a command window if WinXP has one available, or "copy system= files" may be an available option in Win XP's format dialog.) Then boot= from the floppy and either: (1) at the DOS prompt, type fdisk /mbr, or (2) you may be able to achieve the same effect by typing fdisk, then going = through the fdisk options to mark your Win partition active. Don't just remove the FreeBSD boot manager. Without a boot loader/manager,= your computer won't boot.
