Your response is appreciated. >=20 to get rid of the bootloader you can simply do: fdisk /mbr from within an DOS prompt to reclaim the space (I assume that you're running windows as the other = OS) launch win98 in to DOS mode and delete the non DOS partition it will = report, just go ahead with fdisk as normal to create the extended = partition after that. Another solution is to run a thirdparty software such as Partition = magic, this will allow you to extend any DOS partitions you already have = instead of creating a new. //Joel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
