You may want to check out fips. It will help repartition your hard drive
so you can install FreeBSD along with a boot manager. 
This way when you boot up you'll be prompted to enter FreeBSD or
DOS.  ***** I am not experienced enough yet to tell you
	that windows will work if you choose the dos option.
		I believe it will but you may want to do some searching
on http://www.freebsd.org. 
http://www.freebsd.org/search.html is a good site to look for other
questions people have asked as well as the handbook etc.

Your next question about Xwindows...Yes you can run Xwindows with
Freebsd.
Works great in fact.  " Sometimes I have to wonder if it's windows
or if it's freebsd. :-)  Then I realize it's not crashing so it must
be FreeBSD.  No just kidding, FreeBSD is great.  If your looking
to learn more about computers and how everything works . You'll learn
quit a bit  from working with this O/S

I hope this helps You !!!
