If you're referring to the program that asks: F1 HPFS F2 DOS F3 FREEBSD (or something like that) it is called Boot-Easy and you can find it at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/dos-tools/bteasy14.zip Extract it and install it. It goes in quickly and easily. That's all I had to do when Win95 wiped mine out. Good luck. --------------------------------------------------------------- Marcus I.
