Seems our friends in redmond have done something strange with the fs type. both w2k partitions on the disk show a type of 45
Hmm, it's not a brand-name PC that came with Windows pre-installed is it? If so there may be a hidden "recovery/diagnostics" partition that is confusing fdisk.
Do you have anything like OnTrack Disk Manager installed to get round disk size limitations in the BIOS? Unlikely with a machine that runs W2K, but I do know someone that installed in on a P-III machine when he built it, using an old 6.5Gbyte disk, "because it came with the disk"?
Since you have 2 Windows partitions, you haven't installed any form of multi-OS boot manager have you? You wouldn't need it with W2K but you may have had if you had 2 different versions of Win9x on there once over?
Can you post the whole output of `fdisk ad0', it may just give someone a clue?
and both freebsd show 165.
Which is correct.

Mark
Thanks Jim

FWIW, here's what I get (single partition, C:, on the first drive). Note mine is 'da0', not 'ad0', as it's SCSI not IDE:
/home/mark{38}# fdisk da0
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=8924 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=8924 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 7 (0x07),(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
start 63, size 143347932 (69994 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
