When I did this last install, I simply installed 4.7 on the first have of a 10GB drive, then loaded XP on the second part. Once completed, I had to use the rewrite on the mbr using /stand/sysinstall. Under this operation, I have a copy of disk0 (I think) that contains the load point for each partition. Each partition then contains a copy, XP has one, BSD has one. Using the fdisk option under /stand/sysinstall I was able to rewrite the master boot record. Works like a champ, I'm even mounting the XP secondary drive to pull files off of it from time to time! I love this OS! His Faithful Servant, Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
