Thanks but I wasn't lacking for files.

I was lacking the magic--magic apparently missing even from the  
Windows recovery disk--to make even Windows bootable. This magic *is*  
present on the FreeBSD install disk, as I discovered when I gave up,  
wiped the disk, and freshly installed FreeBSD on the whole thing.

I'll install Windows as a virtualbox guest as soon as I get back on  
site and download it from Amazon. (Yes, $119 down the toilet.)

By the way, for the folks who've been working so hard on the UEFI  
implementation of FreeBSD: It's beautiful. It installed and booted  
perfectly (and yes, under the circumstances, I was worried).

What *would* be nice is some dual-boot documentation. I'm sure that  
what I was trying to do is possible. I just didn't succeed. And having  
to muck with the firmware every time to get into FreeBSD is ugly.

Thanks!
