How do I re-install the MBR? You can use the boot manager of Windows XP if you want: Copy /boot/boot1 to C:\free.bsd and create C:\boot.ini containing [boot loader] timeout=30 default=C:\free.bsd [operating systems] C:\free.bsd="FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP" /fastdetect Some settings may be different in your machine, but you get the idea. -- fxn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
