Hi Sharif, You probably haven't lost windows, just overwritten the master boot record. Try booting the PC with a Dos/Windows boot floppy and then doing: fdisk /mbr to restore the master boot record. That should get windows back up and running. You may need to 'cd /windows/command' first. Now, to dual boot FreeBSD and windows, try installing the 'booteasy' program. The installer is a DOS program, so it should be easy to set up. If FreeBSD is on a second hard disk, you will need to install booteasy on both hard disks. Hope this helps, Jeff Sharif wrote: >HI, >I tried to install BSd in my Pc, which has windows 95 in it. I have >already partitiioned disk.
