But in the case of the OP there is no way to put the bootloader of XP on the C-drive since it is formatted as a fbsd (utf) drive. Furthermore I stated that XP wants to *BOOT* off the C-drive. I did not mention the space of the rest of the OS ;-) ONE other way to deal with the problem (I did that succesfully once) is to install GAG. When you add XP as a new OS say YES to the question if the drives should be switched. That way everything can stay as it is. Only difference will be the bootmananger ;-) -- dick -- http://nagual.st/ -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ Running FreeBSD 4.11-stable ++ FreeBSD 5.4 + Nai tiruvantel ar vayuvantel i Valar tielyanna nu vilja _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
