Default Problem with booting other NTFS Partitions
Ok i installed PCBSD the newest one. On a partition that was free. I also have 2 other partitions 1 for storage 1 for windows. But when i try to boot using f1 to the windows one. it loads the windows part and just stops.... And dont goto the login screen. How do i fix this??? I can see i the partitions while i am on BSD.

How can i get it to load the other partitions since it doesnt seem to do it on its on? is there a certain command i need to add in PCbsd

This happens at times. You need to launch Windows in safe mode, then restart it in normal mode and tell us if it solved your problem :roll:

damn, i just deleted the partition b/c i didnt have the internet on pc bsd. I couldnt figure it out. but also i dont know how to install my 2 wire usb nic card. And i have never got any version of linux working due to the 2wire card.

But i might reinstall pc bsd hope it will let me dual boot.

Thx for the help anywayz

I don't think you should create ext3 partitions because you won't run Linux...
Create 2 partitions:

- 1 FAT32 for Windows
- 1 UFS for PC-BSD

ok thx but i just created a ext3 partiton b4 i saw the post and the same thing happened. where i couldnt boot windows... even tho i didnt install bsd. It loaded windows and just stoped at the blue screen with a windows logo just like it did when i installed bsd.

Is there something wrong with my system?

And even booting in safe mode with my problem doesnt seem to load windows at all the only thing i can get to is cmd prompt. I dont understand this at all. But i didnt try safemode boot while i had the bsd installed. but i am sure it would have not worked.

You'd probably be better off reinstalling Windows and PC-BSD :?
