My suggestion would be to back up any dos/windows stuff you need, use dos/windows fdisk to delete all partitions and repartition your disk (use different sizes just in case), install windows, then install freebsd and your boot manager of choice. Personally I prefer OS-BS beta to booteasy. Sorry for the bad news, but in the long run this will save you time. Good luck from someone who's been there, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
