Yes, of course. But you should note here that Win2K is in the nasty habbit of overwriting your MBR when they are installed, which has the interesting side-effect of wiping away the FreeBSD boot loader if you have installed FreeBSD first. What I usually do is install Win2K first, in a disk that has 3 partitions, with the first partition being a 100 Mb BSD slice, the next being one Win2k partition, and the rest of the disk in another BSD slice. After Win2k is installed in the second partition, I install BSD and let it write it's own boot0 block in my MBR. I had no problems with this setup with FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE -> 4.1-STABLE, and Windows versions ranging from Win95 to Win2k. - giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
