You can install WinXP first or last, it doesn't matter. IT just takes some handwork to return to FreeBSD from Windows. First on Windows you mast mark the FreeBSD partition active. There is a tool named diskpart which can help you. Besides his dumb command interface. >diskpart #sel disk 0 (disk numbering starts from 0) #sel part 1 (partition numbering starts from 1) #active #exit You just need to remember your FreeBSD partition number. Next reboot your computer. FreeBSD should start without the BootManager prompt. In FreeBSD you can restore normal BootMananger with `boot0cfg -B /dev/ad0` command. -- [WBR], Arcade.
