Ie, I didn't use "Wizards" and suchlike; I only used OS Commander tools for deleting some partitions, and resizing a FAT32 partition. <recollections type=3D"once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away..."> Upon the next (FreeBSD) boot, OS Commander automatically recognized my new roaring shining (then) FreeBSD 3.3-R system. <further installations snipped> BTW, it could even manage **three** FreeBSD systems (among other ahem things) on my 3-HD junk^H^H^H^Hworkstation. I could boot OpenBSD, Linux, BeOS, Winblows9x/NT,... again I can't remember doing anything special. </recollections> System Commander 2000 probably behaves in a similar way, ie it should automagically recognize there is a FreeBSD OS on one of your disks. Otherwise, the product is decidedly NOT an improvement on the previous version :-) Anyway, <golden "antiscrew" rule> please backup your valuable data, if y= ou haven't already done so.
