I can think of two alternatives. (There may well be others.) The first is to delete the DOS logical partition either with DOS fdisk or with a utility such as Partition Magic or the (cheaper and IMO excellent) BootitNG from TeraByte Unlimited. Then using the partitioning utility, resize the extended partition to leave room for your FreeBSD install. yep I got what you were saying.......I picked up Bootit........here's what my hdd looks like....... c: 4777 Mb fat-32 extended dos 143126Mb Linux d: 2502Mb fat-32......(to be used later) Multimedia e: 8801MB fat-32 Backup f: 1004Mb fat-32 OS g: 2008MB fat-32(here's where i want to install FBSD.........) When I delete the OS(g:).........(thro' bootit.........) the space appears as free space.......how do I resize my Extended Dos partition.......thro bootit.........i tried the resize option on the Extended partition but wasn't sure what to do there were 4 boxes (divided into 2 parts........).. here's what they said...... Beginning Free space Outside _ Mb(we are supposed to fill in the size in Mb.......) Free space Inside _ Mb End Free space Outside _ Mb Free space Inside _ Mb .....the problem is that I don't want to experiment cause ..I don't want to lose any data. ....and also that I'm not sure on what exactly to do.......if you'd just tell me how to go about doing this I'd be grateful........ Thanx......... Piyush __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
