Welcome to FreeBSD! By all means read the Handbook before going any further. Also, the FAQ's (both on freebsd.org) are very helpful to newbies. One very nice thing about FreeBSD is the huge number of resources available on the web. Google for them. The quick answer to your question is install XP first, then FreeBSD. The reason is that Windows is very impolite relative to coexisting with other OS's, and it overwrites the MBR! -gayn Bristol Systems Inc. 714/532-6776 www.bristolsystems.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
