brighton new media ltd
>Environment:
>Description:
the freebsd installed (4.6-stable) ignores the request to leave the mbr alone and scribbles all over it when multiboot with WinXP on ntfs partition. this stops XP from being able to boot and needs a complete reinstall - the XP repair utilities do not correct problem (fixmbr/fixboot)
>How-To-Repeat:
install WinXP in 5gb ntfs partition at start of disk, then install freebsd and choose to not install boot loader and leave mbr alone.
>Fix:
none - on my 3rd reinstall of XP today as I write!

Is this still an issue with later versions of FreeBSD?

 I have not tried since. Have decided that it is safer to stick to dedicated
 machine for each OS.
