I presume you mean that you re-installed FreeBSD...

This is just Win95 telling you that it can't read the filesystem on that drive. It will do the same if you put a non-
MSDos disk in the floppy drive, as well. Given the above, it finds the UFS partition and rejects it. It won't affect the
operation of Windows, though.
Keep at it.
Cheers,
Gary.
