I think people are "shrugging" becasue what you say makes completely no sense. I am betting that there is a certain piece of information that is needed to even begin to answer this question. OBTW, You never asked a question. :) Which partition program? Are you using a bootdisk? Which version are you trying to install? There is no such thing as wda5. Did you come up with wda5 or did FreeBSD? What are the specific error messages that you recieved? What type of hard drive(s) do you have? How are these drive(s) to be divided up between windows and BSD? Are you trying to keep windows around? Have fun, | Stop warning me about the latest virus. Learn more...
