I kind of doubt FreeBSD-5 "had its way with the MBR," or at least a FreeBSD installation has never done anything to the MBR I haven't told it to (correctly or mistakenly;). See whether the Win2K partition is set active. > I > cannot use the recovery option because I cannot for the life of me > remember > the admin passwd. Doh! indeed. Then if setting the Win2K partition active doesn't work, I'm out of better options than your suggestion to do a fresh install and mount the old Win2K partition from there. But I'm no guru. Anyone else have a suggestion? Jud
