This would have been easier to take care of on the technical support mailing list, because there isn't enough information in the report to figure out what has gone wrong here. The first step in looking at the problem will be to determine whether the disk is using an old-style "MBR" partitioning or a newer "GPT" partitioning. This can be determined from the gpart(8) command, "gpart show /dev/". The second step is to make sure that the Windows partition is still present. That should also be present in the output from "gpart show". Assuming that you have an MBR-partitioned disk, the third step is to reinstall the bootloader and configure it to show all partitions. See the FreeBSD Handbook section on bootloaders to be sure, but I think the command would be "boot0cfg -B -m 0xf". -- You are receiving this mail because: You reported the bug.
