Dual Boot WinXP + FreeBSD

I would recommend creating a Fat 32 partion for transferring files between 
FreeBSD and XP. This will work as long as you have not used all (four per 
drive) of your primary partions.

You are deleting the Linux ext* filesystem and replacing it with the FreeBSD 
UFS? FreeBSD can read the unformatted partions.
