Yes it is possible to install without losing the info. You ask if you
can install from C: to D:. Does this mean you already have FreeBSD
installed on C: ?
Given that you have an ether net card. I recommend instaling via FTP. I
did and it was a snap. During the installation routine you will be asked
to configure partitions for the installation. You will probably be given
something like this.
Select the drive for primary partition...
[wd0] <------ C: drive
[wd1] <------ D: drive
After selecting the drive to install to you will be asked to partition
the drive. One of the slices will be labeled DOS. DONT mess with this
and you shouldnt lose any info.
Read the fine manual at www.freebsd.org on getting freebsd before you
start

I hope you see my point. Use paragraphs too. It makes the people who
will help you able to work much faster and easier.
