So my answer is simple, you did have your dos d: drive backed up, didn't you? Seriously, if you instructed the FreeBSD installation to wipe out your dos partition on your d: drive, its gone. The uninstall is to, from dos, reformat the d: drive and restore from your back up. > > > For Info: > I installed it on a Pentium 75 HI 250/p > with 16 MB RAM > Drive C: is: 540MB IBM Dala > Drive D: is: 1.080GB Quantum Fireball > Drive E: is: 160MB Is this e: drive a 160 mb partition on your second hd? If you want to install fbsd on it, delete it from dos, then do the fbsd install. You will probably not be able to boot directly to though and you can only install a minimal system in 160 mb. > > I also have a Sony 4x CD ROM > and a Sound Blaster Pro Compatibel sound card > with a DB50XG Daugther board > > > Hope for quick respons ;-) Quick enough?
