Will BSD work with a SATA II drive? Will it "see" the other operating
systems?

These are two 300GB drives.
This machine has Windows XP SP2 installed as well, although I never use
it. After the original install, I've booted into Windows twice to update
the patches. (Probably should do that again some time.)
I use FreeBSD's native boot manager. It "sees" Windows XP as "Other".
