What I couldn't check out on the web, the archive nor in other lists is how to handle the hidden partition and the existing installation of M$. For the time being I would like to keep XP and repartition a 60GB disk. It seems unclear which bootloader c/should be used and the procedure of installation (generally I'm firm installing FreeBSD). Any experiences installing FBSD on a recent T4x with a hidden partition? Thanks in advance Thomas
