Hi,
I have never had a problem with dual-booting Win XP and FreeBSD before.
Generally, I install XP first and FreeBSD second, putting the Boot
Manager to the MBR. Recently, my hard disk started wobbling and I had to
replace it with a new Western Digital SATA drive.
When all installation work finished, FreeBSD would boot when I press F2
but pressing F1 would fail to boot XP with the error :
"A disk read error occurred. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reboot"
Can anybody suggest what might be the problem and any possible solution ?
For the current time, I reversed the installation order and installed
FreeBSD first. I saved the FFS slice's boot sector on a USB pendrive and
then installed XP. So, for the time being, I have to use the Windows
bootloader to boot FreeBSD by adding an entry for it boot.ini
My disk layout is as follows :
ad8s1 - NTFS
ad8s2 - FFS
ad8s3 - Extended (with ad8s5/NTFS as the only logical drive within it)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you &
--
