Hello, Unfortunately I can't help you restore your BSD loader, but yes, Windows thinks it is going to be the only OS on a computer and doesn't support multiple OSes on the same machine, so it will always overwrite the MBR with its own crud.
This is why you must always install Windows first. Then make partitions for your other OSes, and then let the BSD loader (or GRUB, LILO or whatever) boot BSD as well as Windows. I suggest you may be able to run the BSD installer in "fix" mode - to fix a broken installation. If not, then this feature is needed. Get some more advice before you experiment here, though. Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help. -- James ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alexey Babich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 7:04 PM Subject: BSD Loader > Congratulations, [EMAIL PROTECTED], you have new mail! > > Please help me to restore BSD Loader (BTX), because when I install > Windows OS it brokes my MBR. > > bootinst.exe in tools/ on installation CD can't help me - it installs > loader with bugs (as F??) and can't detect right OS on my computer, > and only loader, installed during system installation, works with my > system correctly, but i can't restore it. > > Please, help... > > -- > Best regards, Alexey [http://alexey.od.ua] [http://hotlap.f1gp.ru] > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
