That's a safe bet, from the standpoint of the Windows installations, but it can cause grief if you try to plug everything back in. I've had problems with the BIOS moving drives around, then FreeBSD can't figure out which drive it should be mounting off. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, all I'm saying is that it might not produce a long-term usable installation. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
