I have been running a dual boot system with Windows and FreeBSD on separate disks for several years. I use just the basic FreeBSD MBR boot program, installed using the procedure described in the Handbook. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/boot-blocks.html Windows XP needs to be on the first disk (Disk 0) and you can put FreeBSD on the other disk. Windows installation will clobber the FreeBSD boot block, so you need to write over it with the Handbook procedure. Brian
