If you decide later to remove the second drive with the FreeBSD installaion on it, you can simply replace the original Microsoft bootloader by running an fdisk on the master boot record
Also, a 2 gig drive is going to be very limiting in what you can install and run on your system.. but.. good luck to you and happy BSD'ing

Subject: Question about install. (two hard drives, install freebsd on second)
I am currently stuck running Windows Me on a Dell Desktop Pentium 3 1ghrtz with 512mb ram. I recently dusted off a old hard drive that contains a whole 2 gigs of hard drive space. I have installed the hard disk drive and am wanting to install "FreeBsd" on it. Before I go about mucking things up, I just wanted to make sure that when I go to install FreeBsd it will not mess up the existing hard drive. I have business and payroll progs on it. I am also wondering if when installing there is an actual question asked by the installation prog for destination. Sorry to be asking a stupid question, and I swear I read through your installation info until my eyes dried out and couldn't find the answers, so that is why I am bothering you. I did try to find the answer first. Anyways any help would be cool as I would really like to start relearning another operating system.
