Hi, Is BootEasy compatible with a UDMA disk formatted with FAT32 ? Machine : Disk0-3.2GB UDMA disk as master (bootable) on IDE0 for MS, Disk1-SCSI-LVD on Adaptec 2940U2W for FreeBSD 3.3R I ftp'd 3.3R (as 2.2.5 seems not to be compat. with my 2940U2W) from a local mirror, but used my WNCreek bx'd set version 2.2.5 to install Boot.bin via Bootinst.exe. On re-boot, BootEasy managed (after a fashion) to boot FreeBSD, but only offers 'Non-system disk or disk error' if I try to boot MS. Restoring Bootsav.bin, as expected, restores a bootable MS, but no FreeBSD. Any work-arounds or cures ? (apart from nuking my MS partitions ;-) ) Thanks, Mark Pearson PS. The automatic spell checker suggests 'friends' as a replacement for FreeBSD - ain't that sweet !
