Sorry Sam, meant to reply all instead of just you alone... I'm wondering the exact smaething myself about the MBR issue. Though, unless all you need is a file, or the kernel on some media then import it to c:\? I know there's way of using the NT Boot Loader to load FreeBSD, but I haven't had a chance to try itout yet myself. And yes, I believe there are NTFS drivers. >Here's the whole deal, > >I have a primary and secondary HDD (1.6 and 1.2 respectively) - >on HD1 I have Windows NT , on HD2 I have Fat16 (which I'm using as a backup >drive right now) - > >What I'm wanting to do is, install freebsd on Drive 2 and somehow add it to >the NT boot.ini boot loader (if not, I suppose I will go with the FreeBSD >boot loader) - I need to know if freebsd 3.3 supports NTFS - >also, another scenario I'm worried about is - >Say I install BSD - suddenly NT Crashes and I have to reload - fine - >NT always overwrites the MBR - thus making it (impossible?) hard to get >into >BSD again w/out reinstalling - >can someone gimme some comments on all that? >thanks >-Sam > > > >To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org >with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
