i've seen this, but it was a while back. at the time i was trying to set up a dual-boot doze/freebsd system on a thinkpad, though not an r30. i ended up backing up the doze data, booting bsd and creating only a bootable dos partition; then re-installing doze, restricting it to that partition, followed by the install of bsd. it might seem like a big hassle but, unless the disk is ripe to fail in any case, the result is trouble-free. kent suggested using norton's whatever--don't. norton products are pretty crappy to begin with and windoze doesn't know crap about the kind of task you have in mind, anyway. ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
