Hello Ismail, If you are attempting a dual-boot setup, you shoul dalways install windows first, leaving some free space in a partition for the freebsd os. You can also use Partition Magic to resize a windows partition and create space on a full fat32 drive. Then install freebsd on the free space and do install a boot manager. but before you isntall, make sure you have working backups of your data on the windows drive. A good place to check FreeBSD related issues is at http://www.freebsddiary.org/topics.php Good luck.
