I was able to install FreeBSD alongside Vista on my HP laptop. What I did was
I shrank down the windows partition using Partition Magic. Its not normal
NTFS according to Partition Magic. But after I shrank it down I just booted
from the FreeBSD install cd and installed it like normal, was abl
ldn't figure out how to fix the boot loader. I
couldn't get back into Kubuntu, but that may be because I was triple booting
with windows xp too. lol. Its just an idea. If you can figure out the
bootloader problem then maybe you dont have to give up FreeBSD :)
Good luck!
