Two comments:

1) Read the Handbook first. Browse the FreeBSD site. Have some sort of
idea of what you're doing before you do it.

2) If you can wrangle it, get a second hard disk and use it for FreeBSD
while keeping the first for Windows. If you can't get a second disk,
then consider Partition Magic. It's always a pain blowing away one OS
only to encounter installation troubles with the other...
