a bit more on "mount madness" Ok. I take a marvelously running Windows 2000 system and install the second harddisk that has windows98/fat32x on it. Bios recognizes drive correctly. Windows recognizes there's a drive, recognizes there's a partition on it and assigns it a drive letter; but doesn't think it's formatted and insists on me formatting the partition. If I put that disk as a second disk in my FreeBSD box I cannot mount it. root@quattro [~]# mount -t msdos /dev/ad1s1 /mnt/fat32 msdos: /dev/ad1s1: Invalid argument If I put that disk in a Linux box, Linux cannot mount it either. Both FreeBSD and Linux see the partition scheme. If I boot with a Windows98 floppy I have full access to the drive. Jumpers and Bios setting all look fine. ideas? -- ------------------------------------ Robin P.
