After you install FreeBSD windows and DOS slowly become quite
distasteful to use. Be warned that many people have simply
just wiped thier DOS partition in a late night attempt at
rebellion against the forces in Redmond.
Seriously, windows and FreeBSD can co-exist, it is recommended
that you backup first, you can also choose to "dual boot"
into dos or FreeBSD if you install the "bootmanager" called
"booteasy".
good luck and have fun,
