Can you try a different drive, as well as a different USB port? > [...] also after did the installation in the OS environment. This is the only piece of text I don't understand, sorry. :-) > Is=20 > there a way to install the OS on my Laptop ? There are basically two ways: 1. Download the USB image and write it to a USB stick. Boot from that USB stick - the laptop will have a boot sequence configured in the CMOS setup, so check if it will try to boot from USB, or use the boot media menu (usually PF12) to select USB when the system starts. 2. Remove the hard disk from the system and use a USB<->disk adapter to install FreeBSD to the disk, then put it back into the laptop and have it boot. Perform all further configurations with that installed OS. I'd suggest you try the 1st way first - it's also a way to verify your USB connection on the laptop is working properly. --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
