In the E:\FREEBSD directory I was told it wouldn't work in a windows inviroment so I formated C:\ and installed Dos version 6.22 and got the same message. I rawrite boot4.flp to disk and boot off it I did all the installation option Novice , Quick, and Expert with I found to be the easy of the all because of the fact that you can go back and recheck your setting before comiting to anything I also tryed to tell it to do exsisting file and pointed to them and it didn't work... Now I have dont the operation without telling it to copy any files and it does the partition corectly and all but it says I can't boot off this drive because no files were installed.. I hope this will help you with my problem I'm lost. Thanks Joe
