Might be a NTFS issue with the boot manager, there is a way to use the NT/2000 bootloader (see below). I had FBSD, Slackware, and Win2k all booting but had to use FAT for Win. Some info on using the NT bootloader to boot both is at http://www.irost.org/FAQ/FREEBSD/FAQ/FAQ101.htm (just adjust for multiple disks instead of same disk). Here are some other links that may help: http://geodsoft.com/howto/dualboot/ Issue here about a problem with the 1024 bios limit messing up the boot - http://pub14.ezboard.com/fnutzboardfrm17.showMessage?topicID=68.topic Good Luck Richard H At 08:29 AM 8/26/2002, Roman Neuhauser wrote: > > Date: Mon, 26 Aug 2002 10:16:34 -0400 > > From: Raymond Law <flaw@vt.edu> > > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > Cc: rlaw@vt.edu > > Subject: Windows 2000 and FreeBSD co-exist? > > > > Can I install Windows 2000 first and then FreeBSD?
