You don't say what you are dual booting--do you mean it was originally dual-booting Windows and FreeBSD but that you reinstalled Windows on this machine and wiped out the bootloader? If this is the case, if you have the Fix-It CD or floppy you should be able to launch Sysinstall to set the partition as bootable and reinstall the bootloader. Cheers, Viktor
