FreeBSD is an operating system on its own, and do not depend on anything that is Microsoft related. If you want to install FreeBSD on your computer, then you could either remove the NTFS partition completely, and use the whole disk for FreeBSD only, or repartition your existing NTFS par- tition (maybe with the tool provided by PartitionMagic) so you will have empty space on your hard disk drive. In this empty partition you can create a new partition for FreeBSD, letting NTFS and FreeBSD co-exist on your disk. You can not run both Windows and FreeBSD at the same time though. You can not get access to your FreeBSD partition from Windows, but you can have read access to your NTFS partition from FreeBSD. You should really read the FreeBSD web pages, that provides information on both the operating system, and also give a full description on how to install it. http://www.freebsd.org/ Hope this did help you out, and I hope you will like the os at least as much as I do. :-) Best regards, Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
