Thank you very much and Happy New Year Reboot and get into the BISO setup utility. Insure that the drives are set to boot in the correct order. In your case, the drive you are inserting the CD into to bootup. If you are only going to be using FreeBSD on the system, you could just wipe the drive clean and then install FreeBSD also. A free utility, "FreeDOS" is rather simple to use. -- Jerry gesbbb@yahoo.com |::::======= |::::======= |=========== |=========== | When in trouble or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.
