Hi, I have an 80GIG Samsung Hard Drive and to use the drive in my Compaq, I have to use overlay software to recognize the 80 gig in there. Without the overlay software, It only recognizes 32GIG. I am trying to install Freebsd (Latest downloadable off your web site) and am running into an error when running the FDISK command. What I do is Turn the PC on, it loads the Overlay software, and then it asks for the disk and I put it in. When getting to the FDISK commands, thats when I get the following error: chunk 'ad2s1' [-63..156360644] does not start on a track boundary Here is my info for FDISK before I removed the fat partitian and I think this is what I am doing wrong. If I remove fat, The overlay software is on the fat partitian. OFFSET SIZE END PTYPE DESC SUBTYPE -63 126 62 6 unused 0 63 156360582 156360644 2 fat 12 156360645 7308 156367952 6 unused 0 I am also using the Bootstrap loader 0.8 and FreeBSD 4.5 Release 2 I tried to make them as even as I can so no matter what email program you are using, I hope that helps. Any chance you can help me with this issue?
