Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Fri, 28 Jun 2002 19:04:02 -0700 From: "Brian M. Kincaid" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I need some help in setting up a multiboot environment with FreeBSD, WinME, and WinXP. I have separate disks available to be dedicated to each operating system. I have been running a dual-boot system with FreeBSD-WinME for some time with no problems. When I bought a new machine, it came with WinXP with lots of bells and whistles. I installed FreeBSD 4.6 on one of the extra disks, and I have been running a dual-boot FreeBSD and WinXP system for about a week. Certain critical Windows applications just plain don't work under WinXP, and the NTFS drivers in FreeBSD apparently support reading but not writing of NTFS file systems mounted under FreeBSD. I have become quite used to being able to read and write FAT32-based files directly from FreeBSD. Hence, I decided to try to go the triple-boot route. Any suggestions, Thanks in advance Brian -- Brian M.
