Don't suppose this is quite the right place, but I've had a bit of experience with Win98 / NT if not with BSD and since a heap of people reading this stuff are interested in dual boot systems it might be of interest. A solution that has worked really well for me with dual boot installations is to use those removable hard drive brackets, fit one hard drive in regular permanent mounting, and second one in the removable thingy. Its a simple matter to use the switch on the removable gadget to enable or disable one of the hard drives, and with modern motherboards which have primary and secondary IDE channels, it doesn't matter whether the system boots from the primary or the secondary IDE drive. I figure its a lot more elegant solution than boot managers and boot floppies. There are several reasons why Win98 crashes and generally most are real simple to fix if one knows the tricks, but thats certainly not a subject for this list :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
