The problem is my extended partition already has windows system restore files. Hence my extended partition itself contains 2 logical partitions D: (having system restore files) and G: where I want to install my freebsd. But when I start the installation freebsd recognises the whole extended partition as a single partition. Is there anyway I could make it recognise the two logical partitons and install in the G: . I am using partition magic pro for partitioning. Since I am not subscribed to this list, kindly cc a copy of your reply to this mail id raman@hcs.ufl.edu.
