    Yes. you should install Xp first.
    My case I have installed a MBR manager and chose an option (Not touch boot
    record) when you install FreeBSD.
    Oh, b4 you install FreeBSD, be aware of types of hardware installed in your
    machine by checking my Computer -> device manager -> then get IRQ and
    hardware details. It would be handy.

    Cheers,
    Edward
