my <wonderful> IT department has just decided to install a new image file on my laptop consisting of 2 different NTFS partitions with different $PATH variables, (to run 2 different versions of powerbuilder on) a third for shared stuff, and a small hidden partition with bootmagic, so the 2 bootable partitions won't mount each other. i can squeeze these down small enough to still have 4.8 or so gigs for FreeBSD, but when i use partition magic to set up the last NTFS partition as a logical partition within an extended partition, FreeBSD's installer won't see the NTFS partition - it just shows me the extended whole extended partitionas ad0s4. is there a way for it to see the logical partitions? is this a partition magic bug? thanks Ben To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
