This will leave the final part of your disk - from some sector x on - empty. If you never did it before it will probably take a lot of time. 2) Now you must create a new entry in the master boot record. You can easily do that with Partition Manager by Mikail Ranish : http://www.users.intercom.com/~ranish 3) And in the end you have to install a boot manager. I use the simple and effective Boot Control by Gertjan Klein ( sorry , I don't remember the www address . Let me know if you want try this and I will send it to you by email ) Just one advice . Manging the master boot record is potentially very dangerous . Therefore always read carefully the manuals that come with the software you are going to use before acting . bye MDG To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
