I bought this computer with a primary partition FAT32 with Windows'95, an extended partition DOS and a third one I don't know. The sizes were as following: 1 - Win'95 976 Mo 2 - Extended DOS 1 Go 3 - Unknown's one 80 Mo While installing BSD, I deleted the partition 2 (Extended DOS) and installed FreeBSD there. I got the following partition id: 1- Unknown 11 2- freebsd 165 3- Unknown 160 Then I install inadvertently Easy Boot Manager. When the installation was completed, I rebooted and got the following choice: F1 ?? F2 BSD F3 ?? I was afraid about Windows'95 and typed F1 and it worked normaly. F2 worked also. Could you tell me why Windows/DOS isn't written for F1 ? Can I delete the partition 3 ? Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards, J-P.
