Gordon, if the FreeBSD Boot Manager was installed in the MBR then you could
use a Win98 boot disk which you can get
here
www.bootdisk.com and when at the A: prompt type fdisk /mbr
A:\fdisk /mbr should be a space between k & /
Press Enter and that should clear the mbr. You can then load the WinXP CD
and from the Recovery Console at the prompt
type Bootcfg /rebuild For more info on the Recovery Console check here.
This is the way I had to do it when I wanted to
remove the Grub bootloader.
