You could use one of the commercial utilities like Partition Magic to convert to or from NTFS, but not a UNIX type. You will have to make it a FAT type and then mount it in FreeBSD and then read it from FreeBSD to a place in a UFS slice. Then that version would not be accessible in a MS system. ////jerry > > -- > Christopher Chambers <cchamb0@interchange.ubc.ca> > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
