    hi,

    I have a 15gig drive with two partitions. one is 10GB the other is =
5GB. On the 10GB
    I have winME, I want to install freebsd on the 5GB. Well the problem =
is that when I=20
    try to install FreeBSD and I am in Fdisk it only see's 2GB. I have =
no clue why it does.
    It does'nt see the other partitions, even MS DOS see's the other =
partitons even if they
    are not FAT. Can anyone be of service? I would greatly appreciate =
it.

    This is what is showing up:
    Disk Geometry: 256cyls/255 heads/63 sectors =3D 4112640 sectors =
(2008MB)

    Offset    Size(MB)    End    Name    PType    Desc       Subtype    =
Flags
         0        0                62        -            6        =
unused    0
         63      2014        4124735  ad0s1    2            FAT    12

    I have no clue why it's giving me this when i have a 15gig with 2 =
partitions, on 10GB and the
    other 5GB


    Thank you.=20
