Default Installing FreeBSD

Hi,

My partition structure is:
C: Fat32 5.00 GB Healthy (System) Primary Partition
D: NTFS 10.00 GB Healthy (Boot)Logical Drive in Extended Partiton
E: NTFS 17.26 GB Healthy Logical Drive in Extended Partition
Free Space 5.00 GB in Extended Partition

When the partition chooser screen pops up, only four partitions are
displayed like this (not exactly):
Unused 12 KB
C:
extended DOS, 32.26 GB
unused 12 MB

I have windows xp home edition installed.
So how do I install FreeBSD?
I was planning to make a logical drive in the free space and move the
contents of C: to the new logical drive, then delete the c: slice from
FreeBSD and install it in the free space created by deleting c:.
But then XP will not boot. So to boot XP, I will copy the files it
needs to boot in D:. Will this work? and is this safe?

Reply soon,
Vedant
