I noticed that the new boot0 code has had partition type 0xc removed as a recognised partition type. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/boot/i386/boot0/boot0.S.diff?r1=1.21;r2=1.22;f=h That ID is used by FAT32 partitions so in my case I'm getting a "?" on my Windows partition. If it was removed to save space, I think 0xb would be more appropriate for removal - it is the non-LBA equivalent of 0xc and I don't think any modern Windows partitioner sets it anymore. Thanks, Aragon
