So if the 4.3G had some MS file system when you installed XP on the 80G drive then the chances are that NTLDR was placed on the 4.3G drive and is now overwritten by FreeBSD. I would expect that a MS expert might be able to replace the NTLDR file and reconstruct the data file that goes with it; but this is outside my ken. Malcolm
