What is a win boot device? Are you trying to say you reinstalled windows from scratch using the MS/Windows install cd? That you lost your old windows partition and all the data in it? Or that this win boot device thing fixed your hard drive so the FreeBSD operating system boot menu F1 boots your windows system and F2 boots your 5.3 FreeBSD system? -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of pedro Sent: Monday, September 06, 2004 9:15 PM To: jason Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: MBR problem with FreeBSD 5.3 beta Ok, I just reinstalled the my "win boot device" and obviously, windows started to run again... although the horrible "beep" problem happens everytime I reboot my pc from FreeBSD (whenever I boot my pc from windows, it resets normally!). According to my motherboard manual, the beep sound matches the one that is described as no DRAM installed or detected. As told by one of you guys here, about the LBA, I just couldn't find any option in my bios to change this... :( I tried to load my bios default configuration (in order to clear whatever the FreeBSD instalation has done to it) but the problem remained... Does anyone have any idea about what to do? I just got happy when I saw you answered my question, Thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jason" To: "Pedro n/a" Cc: Sent: Monday, September 06, 2004 2:51 AM Subject: Re: MBR problem with FreeBSD 5.3 beta > Pedro n/a wrote: > > > In the first time I rebooted my computer, after I've finished the > > installation of this version, my motherboard started to beep and I > > didn't know what to do. > > After reseting the computer I realized that I could no longer "boot" > > my Windows.
