They are on two seperate hard drives. You should probably read through http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/multi-os/index.html to at least give you some preliminary info. Since you're wanting to put FreeBSD on a completely separate HD, you'll need a boot manager that can do that. I'm not sure about what all has changed in all of them in the past 1.5 years, but I had to use OSBSBeta (which was in the tools directory on the FTP site). That will allow you to set up a boot for either Windows or FreeBSD on two separate drives.
