To: freebsd-install@FreeBSD.ORG X-Mailer: SPRY Mail Version: 04.00.06.14 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Here is my dilemma: I have a Windows-95 machine...Acer Acros 486-DX4/100...24 Meg of RAM...Windows-95 boots from drive C which is a 500meg WesternDigital drive...I bought and successfully installed a 1gig WesternDigital which to Win-95 is now drive D:...I have an IDE Cd-Rom as slave to the original HD and the new HD is on Secondary IDE controller...I am able to Restart Win-95 in Dos mode and do the Inst_ide installation...After everything is installed and it is time to reboot, the system recyles and then gives me an error message that it cannot load operating system....At this point I have to put in an old 6.22 Dos boot disk, run fdisk, set drive C as the active partition and restart to get windows-95 back...At this point drive D:(freebsd) has disappeared from by desktop and is no longer accessible unless I fdisk it and reformat it...What happened to the Boot Manager that I asked for it to install during the installation????? Any help will be greatly appreciated.... Jeff ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeffrey S.
