Windows has always handled this in typical Microsoft broken fashion. In order to boot Windows without special third-party software, you NEED to keep Windows on the first hard disk. Install the FreeBSD boot loader on the first disk; this will give you a menu from which you can choose Windows or FreeBSD. NT can boot from any disk, but it needs some files on the active primary MSDOS or NTFS filesystem on the first disk... This operating system might give you some trouble. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@chmod.ath.cx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
