     In this case, I think you're best off just restoring windows from
the CD, without restoring the recovery partition.  IIRC (and I'm not
100% sure), I think restoring the recovery partition causes the entire
disk to be repartitioned, blowing away any existing FreeBSD partition.
I think the entire drive also gets re-dedicated to windows (with the
exception of the recovery partition).
