Make the WindowsXP Disk the primary Master drive, and make the first primary partition the Windows Partition (If you use multiple partitions). After XP is installed you can install Gentoo/FBSD in whichever order you prefer. Also, if it is not Windows XP home edition, and you want to use FAT32 for the drive partition type you need to format the partition using an external utility, not while installing WindowsXP. Something like a Win98 Boot disk will to that. That will enable you to access the WindowsXP drive from within FreeBSD/Gentoo, but will remove the NTFS partition advantages. I think in my case I would make a 5-10GB FAT32 partition on the FreeBSD/Gentoo drive for sharing files to the Windows XP partition, and make the main WinXP partition NTFS.
