I don't have the bsd cd. It comes up to the boot options 1-8, I think, so how would I get to the bsd version of a dos console or single mode you speak of? Thanks again, > Greg hi greg, - please keep the list in CC so others can help / learn / correct me. - Please do not top post. u can try to get in with option 4 - single user ...but i am not sure you'll be able to overwrite the current disk. you actually don't need the BSD CD - any live u*x boot cd will do. they should all have dd and be able to do what i mentioned (just make sure you don't have the disk mounted, as it may not allow you to write to it). b _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome Your reasoning is excellent -- it's only your basic assumptions that are wrong.
