Get Yourself a cool, short @in.com >Email ID now! As far as I understand, the data on the partition you put freeBSD on is gone. You should have noticed the warning during install that warned of this. Concerning XP and "looking" at other partitions, (as far as I understand) you should install XP first and then install freeBSD with a bootloader that will allow you (easier) access to all of the OS's. MS doesn't like to share disk space. Perhaps I misunderstood your situation concerning the "loss" of data. If so, there is open source data recovery software out there. I can't think of the names right now, but I'm sure you have the necessary searching skills to find them yourself. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.o= rg" >
