Thomas:
Thank you for your response. I agree that Windows ME is junk. Until last
night, it was just another coaster.
I had FreeBSD (4.8-Release) replace the MBR by doing fdisk -b and it
didn't work (actually it toasted the MBR). So System Commander replaced the
MBR, but the BIOS still gives me that error.

Boot to a prompt using your Windows ME disk (blah ... the worst version of
Windows EVER).
At the prompt:
fdisk /mbr

Subject: Boot Error from BIOS after try to install 5.1-RELEASE
Greetings List:
After trying to install 5.1-RELEASE from CD (which fails miserably during
the BTX stage), my hard drive stopped booting. When the BIOS reaches my
hard-drive while scanning for bootable devices, it displays the message
Boot Error.
I then inserted a Windows ME CD and selected Boot From HD. This booted
into System Commander (which is what used to happen automatically).
System Commander detects no errors in the partitions on the hard-drive,
and
obviously the MBR is in place (or else SC would not have loaded).
Any ideas on what I fried and how I can fix it? Is there a way to get
FreeBSD to fix the boot sector on my HDD?
Thanks,
James
