My partition disappeared!!!! URGENT!! (newbie factor)

I just inst freeBSD boot installation and it didnt work for(probably my lack of knowledge) reasons but i now have to partitions in freeBSD and i really need them back for windows at the moment. i just cant find them. The bad thing is that i only got this bundled version of windows so i cant really make partions of my own. How do i make partions in windows. i thought it was 'fdisk' or some similiar but it doesnt work. Im running on this winXP home i think.
HOW CAN I make NEW partions from the commandprompt??

Pre- Thanks!!!

riwa

i might add that it was this small version of freeBSD saying(boot only)
i just tried to see if it worked but it went all messed up....

I have never seen a version of windows which does not allow partitioning during installation. However if you search for "freedos boot disk" you should be able to find a disk image which incluedes a version of fdisk which will fix your problem.

well...

myself was very surprised as a reasonably experienced windows user. It seems that acer and their programmers decided to make an automatic installation where it, no matter what, installs all software "necassary" to the C: drive. I hade to get an original copy of a winXP disc to create my own partitions. (It was a laptop with 2 initial partitions). However, im wondering how, and which, can i install a copy of unix? Its for educational purpose only, Im a hobby programmer in windows, and i want to expand my views a little bit.

Pre-Thanks(as we say in Sweden)
