Dear friends: I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.4. The install CD that I created in Nero is fine. I also printed out all the info I could on my system. I have two primary hard drives, each 40G in capacity: The first one has Windows XP on it. The second disk is completely blank. I would like to install FreeBSD on this second disk and to use it entirely. When I booted up to the Install screen I saw the option of choosing ado or ad1. I did read about this earlier on the FreeBSD home page. I chose ad1and then saw the Fdisk screen. I don't need to Fdisk anything. I just want to use the second primary hard drive. I am very much afraid that I might do something wrong and wipe out my Windows installation. So, I chickened out and decided to ask for further guidance from the list. Could you please advise me on what precisely I should do at this critical moment? Thank you so much. Please note my email address: Benjamin Sher delphi123@zebra.net
