I have 3 partitions at the moment on one disk. How do I install GhostBSD on one of the partitions for legacy BIOS?

Jay

joe213 hi need more detail.. What file system these partitions have ? Which OSes on that partition? I usually avoid dual boot with BSD

joe213

Jay Hey man, so the first partition is what Windows creates (which is around 100 MB don't know what it is for exactly) which uses NTFS, 2nd partition is also NTFS where all the actual files exist. And the third partition is where currently Trident is installed which is in the format of ZFS and I want to install GhostBSD on the third partition and wipe and remove Trident.

I want to do dual booting as I do need Windows as well.

Jay

joe213 which windows edition ?

joe213

Jay Windows 7,

Do you know anything how to install GhostBSD on the third partition?

Jay

joe213 okay .

when inside GhostBSD installe choose:
- custom UFS install
- FreeBSD loader + Freebsd / GhostBSD boot manager

Jay

joe213 also read this https://wiki.ghostbsd.org/index.php/Custom_Disk_Partitioning_Installation

Jay Thanks for the link ?

But if I chose UFS, then would it still format the partition as ZFS or would it use a different format?
