MBR problem with FreeBSD 5.3 beta

[JJB]

Pedro
I do not understand what you mean by
"I just reinstalled the my "win boot device" and obviously, windows
started to run again."
What is a win boot device?

Are you trying to say you reinstalled windows from scratch using the
MS/Windows install cd?
That you lost your old windows partition and all the data in it?

Or that this win boot device thing fixed your hard drive so the
FreeBSD operating system boot menu F1 boots your windows system and
F2 boots your 5.3 FreeBSD system?

Ok,

    I just reinstalled the my "win boot device" and obviously,
windows
started to run again... although the horrible "beep" problem happens
everytime I reboot my pc from FreeBSD (whenever I boot my pc from
windows,
it resets normally!). According to my motherboard manual, the beep
sound
matches the one that is described as no DRAM installed or detected.
    As told by one of you guys here, about the LBA, I just couldn't
find any
option in my bios to change this... :(
    I tried to load my bios default configuration (in order to clear
whatever the FreeBSD instalation has done to it) but the problem
remained...
    Does anyone have any idea about what to do?

I just got happy when I saw you answered my question,
Thank you.
