This is correct, I just didn't want to express it
that directly. Keep in mind that MICROS~1 invented
the PC, the Internet, the mouse, and the only OS
that exists is "Windows", so... you need additional
tools to repair what the "Windows" installer damaged.
Luckily, FreeBSD provides such tools natively (no
need to buy a 3rd party program). :-)
