I already have windows installed. Hi Marc, Depends on your current partitioning scheme. FreeBSD is looking for free space on a primary partition. If you currently only have one partition, you will lose Windows98 unless you shave some space off of its partition to make another primary partition using a tools like fips or Partition Magic. If you have two partitions, but one is logical, you'll nee= d to convert that logical to a primary.
