Any > ideas please write to jagnew@csugrad.cs.vt.edu. You are right about the problem, released versions of FreeBSD don't support "extended" DOS partitions. However, you cannot convert an "extended" DOS partition easily into a "primary" partition, and if you did, you would only be able to see one of them at a time (if my memory of the rules of DOS partitions is correct). > H.
