That is, avoid messing with a critical system (your Win95 machine) with an operating system that's brand new to you. I'm not sure of a way out of this, but you might fire up /stand/sysinstall, go to Fdisk (the disk slice editor), "q" to quit past the first screen without any changes, then, the next screen choose to install the BootMgr. That sticks something or other in a critical part of your hard drive and lets you boot to different operating systems. Hit F1 on that screen for more details. Keep in mind, I'm still a beginner, too, so if I don't have something right, well, such is life. ---------- From: Theresa Fienen Sent: Saturday, May 02, 1998 9:52 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: freeBSD HELP!!!! Your system has screwed up my computer! I was attempting to install the os onto my computer...things were going fine, but now I haven't a way to access my Windows 95 and the FreeBSD is not entirely installed and I can't remove it. What do I have to do to completely erase every file associated with FreeBSD and restore my original Windows 95? This is utterly important to me to get fixed ASAP.
