HI, I've done this on my laptop as well as my desktop, it's quite simple. 1: Install WindowsXP on a presized partition, or repartition it afterwards with something like partition magic. 2: install freebsd on the other partition, when the install comes to the part asking you to install a boot manager, do so =2E It auto detects the winxp as win2k [afaik] Then it just works when you reboot. it will ask you F1 ??? F2 FreeBSD F1 is windows.
