The trick is partitioning (obviously). I currently have a 15 GB hard disk divided into 2 equally sized primary partitions ... the first one is Windows XP, and the second one is for FreeBSD. I happen to use the GRUB bootloader, but that isn't required ... as someone else mentioned, they use the native FBSD bootloader. I just like GRUB. It's my personal feeling that the XP bootloader isn't worth the trouble. If XP takes up all your hard disk space, you may have some issues finding a good program for resizing the partition ... if you have it available, Partition Magic 7 is awesome.
