I am dual-booting WinXP and FreeBSD 4.4 on a Gateway SOLO-9300cl, and it is working fine. Of course, WinXP was installed first, and then FreeBSD, choosing the FreeBSD boot loader during installation. This is what I see when I boot up: F1: ?? F2: FreeBSD Default F2 Even though the boot loader doesn't type 'Windows' next to F1, it is really there. I have heard birds chirping about this problem on some systems and not on others, so I guess I got lucky. HTH, Michael Oliver -----Original Message----- From: AlphaDemon To: Freebsd Sent: 11/8/2001 6:01 AM Subject: FreeBSD & WinXP Hi All, I have have finished installing FreeBSD 4.4 and my system has WinXP, but after installation, when it reboots there is no OS chooser menu comes out and my machine boots straight to WinXP. I am installing it on a different partition and selected to use MBR options to boot. I did not have this problem when I was running Win2k , Is there something that Micro$oft has done so that other OS cannot be installed ? Is there any other way to it. I even tried Linux and it failed to, so does BeOS . Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
