I was going to try reinstall the Windows in a virtual partition for VMware but as they give you a the software distribution in a "recovery partition" on the disk instead of on CDs that becomes hard(er). Also whan IO put on the BSD boot manager it booted directly to 'recovery mode' instead of to BSD. It then wanted to recreate the original (BIG) ntfs partition instead of living with the BSD partiton and smaller ntfs partition I replaced it with.. I'm still experimenting with it though.. It's a Pavilion 512-N also any idea what type the ethernet card is.. BSD 4.4 didn't see it that's for sure..
