My system is prresently set up to boot either WLindows 95 or Windows NT. I choose when the screen comes up or it defaults to NT. I have not bothered to install DOS. My fear is that if I install FBSD on a free partition (disk is 6.4 Gb partitioned in FAT disks of 500 Mb and one NTFS of 3 Gb) the FBSD boot manager will overwrite the C: (FAT) boot sector and I will have to reinstall the two Windows systems. Are my fears justified? Could you please clarify?
