FreeBSD on a Win2000 partition (was: Re: Please answer back)
Hi, > Could you install FreeBSD on an existing version of Windows 2000 > Professional and still have the option of choosing which OS to run > on your computer? Not directly, but if you have some space on your hard drive left, you can shrink your Windows 2000 and install FreeBSD then. They will happily co-exist, and there is a menu at the startup which allows you to choose the OS to be booted. Unfortunately, I do not know of a free program that can shrink NTFS partitions, so you will probably need Partition Magic or some other commercial product. Regards, Simon P.S.
