I taught this thread has alread been finished because it is just so simple and no brainer. Anyways, please follow this procedure:
1. Use a freeware disk partitioning software like "GParted LiveCD" to re-organize your hard disk to accomodate new arrangements. Usually, you want this software without recurring any re-installing of your default windows because it will just re-allocate in the new settings. 2. Then follow this hard disk lay-out. It work for me in the past several years without hassles. If possible, use fdisk to get the partition in its correct label. /dev/hda1 - windows (ntfs) -- no changes. /dev/hda2 - freebsd (a5) /dev/hda3 - linux (81) /dev/hda4 - openbsd (A6) 3. Use a boot manager. I highly recommend LILO as it is much easier to use. You will be fine if you follow that procedure. Ok?
