Date: 2 Nov 1995 21:32:50 GMT Organization: Cinenet Communications,Internet Access,Los Angeles;310-301-4500 Lines: 15 Message-ID: <47bde2$k7l@marina.cinenet.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: hollywood.cinenet.net X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] I just installed Win95 over the DOS partition I had coexisting with my FreeBSD partition. I had installed FreeBSD after DOS so had the BootManager and could boot either BSD or DOS. After installing Win95 it (of course) installed a new boot sector and BootManager is gone. I can still boot BSD using fbsdboot.exe from Win95 but It's very inconvient. Is there a way to re-install just the BootManager? I tried using sysinstall and told it to re-write the partition table (Along with BM), it asked me if I wouldn't rather wait, I said "no, go ahead" and watched the disk light carefully--nothing. Any help appreciated. Bob
