I have been dual booting FreeBSD and Windows XP for quite sometime. However, I never boot into Windows XP any longer. I can pretty much do everything I need to do from within FreeBSD. Is there a way that I can wipe out the Windows XP partition, resize the FreeBSD partition, and install a standard FreeBSD MBR (no boot manager) without slicking and reloading the hard drive? I really like the way I have my stuff setup within FreeBSD and would hate to have to recreate a lot of it as well as install applications over again. Could I do a dump of my current FreeBSD partition, reformat and partition the whole drive, install FreeBSD, and then restore my data to the new partition or would this cause issues? Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Jeff Cross http://www.averageadmins.com/
