It's already running Windows and, much as I wish it was otherwise, I need to keep running Windows part time on that system. I really don't want to have to re-install Windows, either. Is it hopeless or is there some way to make this work? I did see one message from someone who said he had installed FreeBSD in an extended partition. and the novice install (in sysinstall) seems to accept it when I tell it to make the extended partition into a FreeBSD partition, although I bailed before it actually did anything.
