    Hello. I would like to learn to use FreeBSD. I would also like to have the ability to choose between either Win XP Pro and FreeBSD upon starting up my system. I do have 2 40GB hard drives, plus Partition Magic if I need. My plan at the moment is to simply have Win XP Pro on one hdd, and FBSD on the other.

    Ok what I would like to know is this: should I install FreeBSD first? Or Win XP first? I am thinking I better not install FreeBSD first because I doubt that WinXP's setup would recognize FreeBSD as a 2nd. O.S. on my system when installing (thereby not providing the ability to choose an O.S. on startup).

    Any suggestions? My hardware should all be compatible to use FreeBSD.

    TYIA,
    Eric Greene
