Hello

I would recommend creating a Fat 32 partion for transferring files between=
=20
=46reeBSD and XP. This will work as long as you have not used all (four per=
=20
drive) of your primary partions.

You are deleting the Linux ext* filesystem and replacing it with the FreeBS=
D=20
UFS? FreeBSD can read the unformatted partions.
