In fact, I've done it many times with no problems at all, on totally separate drives, together on the same drive(s), with parts of both operating systems overlapping from a RAID0 array to a standalone hard drive.... So to help figure out why you are having a problem while many others are not, you will have to provide more detail. The more helpful information you can provide, the more help you are likely to get. On what drive(s) are you trying to install Win2K and FreeBSD? Is Win2K already present, or will you be doing a new installation of both? Are there any operating systems on the drive(s) now, or is it freshly formatted? What partition(s) exist on the drive(s)? Are they primary, logical, extended? Are you using the install procedure from the CD? What version of FreeBSD are you trying to install? While it is quite typical for Win2K to want to live on the first partition of a drive where there are no other Windows operating systems, I have never had the slightest problem installing FreeBSD on the second or third partition (or in FreeBSD parlance, "slice") of a drive.
