Hi

Is it save to install WinXP after FreeBSD? My IBM recovery cd goofed
up my WinXP and I'd like to reinstall XP only and keep my existing
FreeBSD slices intact. Same goes for the MBR, of course.

And yes, I will back up my data in any case, but I'd still hate it if
I had to set up my whole system again.

thanks in advance, t.
