ok, I think that the problem is that my new HD, which I got today is messing up the install. I tried to install debian linux and I got a message that the disk was either bad or "factory clean". I am assuming that it is factory clean but I have no idea what that means or what to do. It is a Western Digital 10.1 GB drive eide. btw, that osbs program looks really ghetto. Warning are all over the place and it makes you think that it is the buggiest software in the world and that it is going to fry your computer. vagner@ginger.dhis.org wrote: > yes windows blows away the MBR on the first disk. > > look for OSBS boot manager i think its in the > tools directory, you might just like it. > > its a simple program written in dos that > pretty much allows booting any disk with > a menu on boot up. > > On 09-Jun-99 David Pollack wrote: > > Well, I spent to better part of this day install FreeBSD > > on my second HD that I just got.
