Hi all,
For those that have been following this thread:
I now have Norton GoBack uninstalled and un-hooked from the MBR
-Had to go to Symantec and get a rescue disk,
-The rescue disk tried to un-hook GOBAck from the MBR,
-It found the MBR borken (due to the FreeBSD Boot Manager install),
-So the rescue disk ran all night restoring the original C-Drive,
-As of this morning, I once again have a bottoable windows system,
-FreeBSD 6.4 is intalled, but,
-I have not boot manager so I cant get to the FReeBSD installation.
Can someone (please!) explain how to install the FreeBSD boot manager again?
THanks all,
-Grant
