I just reformatted my hard drive, using FORMAT.EXE. I am going to re-install Windows 95 and FreeBSD. Should I use FIPS to partition the drive after installing Windows, or is there a better way now, while the drive is still empty?? Also if I use FDISK to format the drive, it asked me if I want to use FAT32 for larger hardrives (it's a 1G IDE), but then warns me I might have trouble with other operating systems. Does FreeBSD have trouble with FAT32?? Wouldn't installing Windows 95 make the allocation table for the DOS partition FAT32 anyway?? Also, if I use FIPS 2.0 to split my DOS partition in order to install FreeBSD, then re-install Windows 95, then the Boot Manager disappears and no longer lets me boot FreeBSD. Is there a solution to this?? THANX!! PEACE OUT :) MARK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
