Hello, I have a freebsd installation on a disk with two slices. One of them has the current freebsd install, the other has a win2k installation. I want to convert the win2k slice to a freebsd slice (by deleting the old one and add a new one). I followed the handbook but when I try to delete the win2k slice, and want to write the changes to the disk, sysinstall returns "a disk error". The steps I took were simple: - run sysinstall en select fdisk - choose delete on the NTFS slice - Write changes Then sysinstall complains that it cannot do that (no specific information on the cause of the error is displayed). Does anyone know what can be wrong and how can I solve this?
