Sorry, we're not very experienced in removing FreeBSD and installing
Microsoft products. I'd suggest you look at your Microsoft
documentation. Here are some possibilities:
1. Boot Microsoft from diskette and check the partition table with
Microsoft's FDISK program. If you find a Microsoft partition
(type 4: primary), mark it bootable and reboot.
2. If you have accidentally overwritten your Microsoft partitions,
reinstall and restore your data from the backup.
If this is what happened, it's due to lack of caution on your
part. Installing *any* software which manipulates the partition
table has the potential to shoot yourself in the foot. Don't
blame it on the software.
Of course, maybe you want to keep FreeBSD after all? In that case,
let us know what hardware you have, how far you have got with the
installation, and how you are trying to install it.
Greg
