FreeBSD is an operating system by itself. This means that it can
only coexist with Windows on a separate partition, and only one
of them can be running.
Once you install it; you should be able to hook it up
to another UNIX system and suck what you want off it. However,
you should be able to get those files onto Windows using some
of the tools that are available out there. What sort of (older)
UNIX system are you thinking about?
Cheers.
