Well I have 500 somthing mhz and 128 ram,Pentium 3, Intel 82815 Graphic Controller Card,4 partitions with Windows XP, Windows Me, Beos 5 and a Dos. I installed beos and bootman. At first, the whole thing goes great except for my video card isn't supported. Well when I want to reboot and go in Windows Xp, It says my os is not found, do I want to restore the MBR, I say yes, then i can go back to windows xp but i cannot go back to Beos again... then i tried to create a boot disk from windows Me with the beos boot disk creator, then when the computer reboot, yes it shows the be operating system, but then load to the secong icon, then crashed..... what should i do? I'm realy sick of searching the board and i end up nothing... plus what also should i get for my graphic card driver?? THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!!!!!!

Ask?
Some odd situations occur when you have more than one hard drive and you load Windows XP or a reinstall of XP. There is a fix reported but you have to binary edit the MBR.
The boot floppy might be the easiest way. Do you have the Pro CD?

Yes i have the cd, and i used the boot floppy b4, but then it load up to 2 second icon and bham.... crashed

That might mean that you have still a prior install of beos on the XP's NTFS partiton.

When you make the boot floppy from the Pro CD and reboot with the floppy. Press the spacebar and choose where you want beos to boot from.

Now you can use the CD to boot into any correct beos install. When you boot from the CD just quickly press the spacebar and choose options. It sometimes goes real fast so be quick.

Last thing. Sometimes if you have too many partitons or partitions made from old partiton magic software some machines won't have the correct MBR reporting partitions. Some partitons will overlap. You might get ranish to see if the partiton table is correct. It seems to be the most correct of all reports.

You can also do a "Live CD" of beos from the CD.
Boot to the CD.
Accept the EULA.
Don't use the installer.
Press ctrl-alt-del.
From popup choose restart Desktop.
Wait a few seconds. CD's are slow.
Press alt-F2 to get away from the installer on workspace alt-F1.

From that you should be able to mount any installed beos partitions or virtual filesystems.
