FreeBSD', but as I struck 'enter' I got a 'boot = failed' message. Then I rebooted the machine again and started getting 'No = operating system found' messages. I thought that maybe the boot record had = been damaged so I booted the FreeBSD 4.6-install CD and opened fdisk - all = space unused, no partitions found. No sign of my data at all! Get your disk back from Dell. Then try testdisk or gpart. -Hanspeter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
