    Can't you use ParititionMagix to resize your Windows file system?

    And then during the FreeBSD install use the left over space from the resize
    above for the BSD file system.

    I believe it's Berkeley Fast File System. or Unix File System 2(not sure
    someone might correct me)...or a combition of the two..?

    Don't think so.
