FBSD=20 does not install into DOS partitions. During the FBSD install it will = show you=20 the primary hard drive.

 Isn't it possible to use the space in the DOS = partition for=20 FBSD,I dont mind formatting it as 165(the FBSD filesystem),i just = don't know=20 how to allocate space on my hard-disk for freebsd is this = possible(keeping my=20 Windows primary partition which stores Windows......)......and if = possible=20 how?
