(ID 92) 1000meg DOS 16-bit (ID 6) 1000meg ??? (ID b5) FreeBSD refuses to recognize b5 as a valid FreeBSD partition. Luckily, I can use Linux fdisk to change the partition types back to what they should be. Does anyone know how I could fix the Windoze 95 problem that im expieriencing? =---------------------- =Matt Bancroft = =matt@mec.edu = =bancroft@akamail.com = -----------------------
