Akhar, Do you realize that you are receiving a FREE service. To complain about volunteers who give their time FREELY is rude at the least. Your question is one that is answered in the documentation provided by both Linux and FreeBSD documentation teams, commercial products and good-old common sense. I have loaded FreeBSD over Linux and Linux over FreeBSD without any problems (my UNIX programming instructors require that their classes use their choices of OS). Regardless, you may wish to familiarize yourself with the fdisk/Disk Druid/etc. program(s) in Linux making note that FreeBSD and Linux use different ID numbers for their partitions/slices. Also, a format (you did format your drives didn't you?) of your drive(s) will wipe them clean. Adaptec has ROM based programs that will eliminate any problem of this sort. In the future, I would encourage you to read the documentation and become familiar with the documentation before trying something like this. Knowledge of the documentation, as well as the information contained therein, has proven a great encouragement and source of help to me when things don't go well in an installation, etc. (It is amazing how the answers will jump off the page!) My parting words are from a sign in the office of Jim Barksdale (CEO of Netscape and previously FedEx)... If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch!!!
