Eduardo already gave an answer re boot0cfg. If you like, you can try GAG (freeware), which I'm using now and like, or BootItNG (shareware), which I've used for a long time as a boot and partition manager. Never had any problem with either. The XP bootloader should also work, but I've never been exactly sure how to implement the 2-hard-drive solution in the FAQ on the FreeBSD web site. Jud
