OK I have 4.4R install going now. In FDISK Partition Editor, I have the following: (Please bear with me, I am only used to setting up FreeBSD on an empty drive) Offset Size End Name PType Desc SubType 0 63 62 - 6 unused 0 63 6345612 6345674 ad0s1 1 NTFS/HPFS/ 7 6345675 10442250 16787924 ad0s2 2 fat 12 16787925 12691350 29479274 ad0s3 4 extended 15 29479275 48696085 78165359 - 6 unused 0 For those that missed it, here is what I setup in Win2K (as you should be able tell with your experience with the info above): "So, this time I have gotten this far: C:\ Primary 5GB (NTFS) :\ (no drive letter assigned) (A FAT32 Primary partition, empty) 6.2GB D:\ Extended 5GB w/ 5GB Logical (NTFS) Now, how can I be sure when I go through the FreeBSD installation that I use and FreeBSD format the ":\" primary partition created in advance? I am using Seagate ST340016A Barracuda ATA IV 40GB hard drive." If I am on the right track, my best guess is that I would simply select the ad0s2 fat slice? And this would correspond to the primary partition I created in Disk Manager (Win2K)? Thanks for the help guys! -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Boothman [mailto:andrew@cream.org] Sent: March 24, 2002 12:55 PM To: Dillion Klein Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: NTFS w/ FreeBSD dual boot Dillion Klein wrote : > >So, this time I have gotten this far: > >C:\ Primary 5GB (NTFS) > :\ (no drive letter assigned) (A FAT32 Primary partition, empty) 6.2GB >D:\ Extended 5GB w/ 5GB Logical (NTFS) > >Now, how can I be sure when I go through the FreeBSD installation that I >use and FreeBSD format the ":\" primary partition created in advance? > All existing partitions on your drive should appear in fdisk when you are installing FreeBSD. So long as you know which partition (slice) is which, you should be able to delete the empty FAT32 slice and create a new FreeBSD one in its place. Perhaps I'm not understanding your problem correctly? Andrew. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
