In that machine, there is one SATA drive. On that drive, there was about 100 GB of free space, so I decided to try = putting FreeBSD 6.4 on it.=20 During the install, I opted to use the Free BSD boot manage. The install = went flawlessly. The problem is, when I boot up I get: F1 ?? F2 FreeBSD F5 Disk1 F2, is obviously, the new installation of FreeBSD 6.4, which boots = perfectly. F5 is a spare SCSI disk connected to an Initio controller. F1 is the probelem. Windose no longer boots. When I select F2, I simply = get the cursor on a new line, and nothing happens. Like this: F1 ?? F2 FreeBSD F5 Disk1 _ Any idea what I might need to do to make windows work again? It may be worth mentioning, I had Norton GoBack running on the disk = before I installed FreeBSD, although I am not aware if it does anything = to the booting system. All suggestions welcome, -Grant
