That is not quite true. Windows Xp (&NT, 2k) can be on any partion. The boot loader need to be at the start of the C-Drive. There is a previous post regarding the problem at: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=851242+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2005/freebsd-questions/20050807.freebsd-questions Rob _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
