If you can, send me your reply in russian :) Firstly, freebsd can see NTFS, but not write to it. You need to partition up your hard drive, 1 for windows, and several for FreeBSD (Read more in the Handbook). I have them on two seperate hard disks, and use the 'gag' bootloader on my primary drive, with windows 2000, which will reconises both partitions and loads the appropriate one. Q.
