Fletcher) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Subject: Partitioning Problems Date: Sun, 28 Jan 1996 19:00:40 UNDEFINED Organization: NeoSoft Internet Services +1 713 968 5800 Lines: 17 Message-ID: <fletcher.2.00870C11@neosoft.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: scooter-slip-bf.neosoft.com X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B final beta #1] I have a 100MHz Pentium computer with a Bus Logic BC946C PCI SCSI controller, a Diamond Viper PCI video card with 2MB of Vram, 2 Conner SCSI 1080MB HD's and an NEC 4X CD Rom. My problem is that I had BSDI Unix installed on the computer for a while. I then purchased a copy of Windows NT to test out on the computer. I ran the install on the PC and used Windows NT fdisk program to fdisk the computer. Durring the install the computer does a reboot to start NT to finish the setup. When the computer reboots and gets to the point where it would load the NT operating system the computer restarts as if I had turned off the power and turned it back on again. My question is: Could this problem be caused by not using the BSDI operating system to fdisk the drives? If this is the problem, what can I do to correct it.
