If I recall correctly, Windows will only boot a GPT partition if uEFI is enabled, and FreeBSD cannot boot uEFI (yet). I have only successfully dual booted using 2 different drives and using the BIOS boot selection menu, with the BIOS set to uEFI/CSM fallback mode, so that it uses uEFI for the Windows disk and CSM for the FreeBSD disk. Although, I didn't really try that hard, as I had the two drives and it worked. -- Allan Jude
