1. Install Windows first, in the first partition.  If you want FreeBSD
to be able to write to the Windows partition, use the fat32 format
instead of NTFS. Do NOT create this partition to use the entire disk
as the FreeBSD installation does not include tools to resize the
existing Windows partition.

2. See more documentation regarding FreeBSD installation at:

Best of luck,
