How many hard drives do you have, and where did you try to install FreeBSD. You may just have clobbered your MBR so boot up with a DOS floppy and try : fdisk /MBR Then check you DOS partitions with fdisk. If this doesn't work, you probably deleted your dos partition when you used the partition editor in sysinstall. Luckily you did make a backup of your c drive before installing FreeBSD ;) Feel free to reply with more details if you still have problems pierre -- Pierre-Andre van Leeuwen Electronic Engineer Powered By FreeBSD ******************************** * Nanoteq (Pty) Ltd. * * Specialists in data security * * E-mail : pvl@nanoteq.com * * Ph : +27 (0)12 665-1338 * * http://www.nanoteq.co.za * ********************************
