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?
