Hi:

I have a question regarding WinNT and FreeBSD.

I have a disk with FreeBSD 2.1.5 and Win 95. Things are Ok now. I am planning
to replace Win 95 with NT 4.0.

Am I at risk of losing my FreeBSD partition now? I know that Win 95 is
quite brain dead, and WILL destroy.. but is Win NT the same way?

Has anyone done a successful install of Win NT on a disk that
already had FreeBSD?

thanks in advance,

rv
