Go to www.freebsd.org and click on the Getting FreeBSD link. You will not be able to put FreeBSD on a DOS partition but if Window's has not taken up your whole drive you can use a disk partitioning tool to shrink the Windows partition. Partition Magic is available for a fee and should do the trick. There is also the free alternative FIPS. It is more difficult to use but it is free.
