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
Re: BSD Loader
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!

Re: BSD Loader
You can also try this. http://gag.sourceforge.net/ It tries to find all OSes on the all partitions. It's not too bad. - Original Message - From: Matthew Seaman [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Alexey Babich [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 3:48 AM Subject: Re: BSD Loader On Thu, Feb 06, 2003 at 10:04:45AM +0200, Alexey Babich wrote: 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. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/troubleshoot.html#BOOTM ANAGER-RESTORE Cheers, Matthew -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK 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
