The harddisk (ide) is partioned under DOS als follows; Partition Status Type System c:1 A primary dos fat16 2 extended dos fat16 So, partition #2 is an extented partion divided in 5 logical partitions. D: (win95) E: (nt4.0) F: (applications) G: (free) H: (data) My question is: How can I choose (seen by DOS) logical partion G: to install there FREEBSD ? The FDISK partition editor on the FreeBSD bootflop shows me the following scheme: OFFSET SIZE END NAME PTYPE DESC SUBTYPE 0 63 62 - 6 unused 0 63 56385 56447 wd0s1 2 fat 4 56448 4943232 4999679 wd0s2 4 extended 5 4999680 10080 5009759 - 6 unused 0 I'am a novice user so it confused me a lot. In the above scheme I have to decide where I install FreeBSD. Where can I find "dos" partition "G:" ? Or is it not possible to install FreeBSD in any logical partition ? Thanks in advance. \\\|/// \\ ~ ~ // ( @ @ ) -------------oOOo-(_)-oOOo------------- Hans van Reenen medewerker van het uci, sectie cs-ops tel : 024-3617949 email: h.vanreenen@uci.kun.nl www : http://baserv.uci.kun.nl/~hvreenen ------------------------Oooo.---------- .oooO ( ) ( ) ( ) \ ) (_/ -
