Default Partition (freeBSD)

I would like to know if it is possible to install the OS on the same hard drive that I have my Windows XP professional. Without having any problems.

If so, how do I do it. Do i just choose to install and it will work fine?

or do I do some type of partition.

You'll have to have some unpartitioned space in order to install FreeBSD alongside Windows.

If you don't, use a tool like PartitionMagic or QTParted included in the System Rescue CD to shrink your existing partitions to make room.
