I have a 4 GB disk with win98 on the first 1 GB MSDOS partition, and trying to create a second 1.5 GB partition for FreeBSD, and a third FAT32 partition for windows. fips.exe woun't work for FAT32 partitions, will it? And when I run it, it hangs for a long time at the first "press any key"message, and then follows an error message: "Drive Initialization Failure: Errorcode 5 Interrupt 13h 00h returned an error code" and the program ends. So I use part.exe (Ranish Partition manager), where I can create 3 partitions. Anyhow, it will not let me modify the win98 partition settings. When I try to install FreeBSD, I got the following error message: "No disks found! Please verify that your disk controller is being properly probed at boot time. See the Hardware Guide on the Documentation menu for clues on diagnosing this type of problem." Is this a problem due to the win98 partition? I would appreciate some help with this problem! /Juan Kuuse kuuse@quik.guate.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
