No. You will need a BSD partition. What you can do is use a utility called FIPS that allows you to shrink a FAT32 partition. Make sure you read the README for it. I've used FIPS on a few occasions and have never ruined the Windows partion. Ian As told by, Andrew Koester [Charset iso-8859-1 unsupported, filtering to ASCII...] > I run two windows operating systems (Windows ME + Windows 2000 Professional) and when we received the computer, the whole thing was converted to native Microsoft FAT-32 before we got it. In other words, I can't partition the disk. Is there a way to install FreeBSD on my system without creating a partition and still load my other OS's (even through a DOS command or such)?
