Install Windows first, in the first partition. If you want FreeBSD to be able to write to the Windows partition, use the fat32 format instead of NTFS. Do NOT create this partition to use the entire disk as the FreeBSD installation does not include tools to resize the existing Windows partition. 2. See more documentation regarding FreeBSD installation at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html Best of luck, Andrew Gould
