I push A for entire disk then it says something about dangerously dedicated disk and I pressed yes and then when it goes into the next screen where you create your slices or parttitions the screen just goes blue and does nothing else. I was wondering how I can get back my harddrive and put freebsd on there. Also I have got back four gigs of it I managed to format but how do I reclaim the rest of the disk back so I can put feebsd on it Cordially, Aubrey L Dunn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
