So I reboot, and get the usual: I think that no matter what you do Win95 is not going to boot from a second hard drive; it's got to be on the first hard drive. I tried to get it to boot from my second hard drive (and also DOS 6.2) without success. : F1 FreeBSD : F5 disk 2 : so I press F1 and freebsd boots fine. So I reboot and press F5 and get: : F1 Dos : F5 disk 1 : so I press F1 to (hopefully) boot to win95 but I get "Invalid system disk. : Replace disk and press a key". Even though I transferred to the win95 disk's : boot manager, when I pressed F1 it seemed to try and boot off disk 0 (the : freebsd disk) because I could hear it try that drive. So it is apparently NOT : attempting to boot off drive 1 (the win95 drive). It should be (at least : theoretically) possible to boot from disk 1, right? I checked the win95 : drive and the partition is marked active and is bootable (because when I : have that drive as the only drive in the system it boots fine). So whats up : with that? Annelise
