It's usually much better to install Windows first, as it's fussier about 
where it's installed and records that information all over itself. 
FreeBSD is more adaptable so install it after Windows. In your setup, 
even if you do get Windows to boot (which should be only a matter of 
chain-loading the boot sector on the Windows partition; FreeBSD's boot0 
should show allow you this), it will be very confused about where it's 
"C:" drive is.
