Hello again, peoples! 
I'm sorry it took me so long to remember to come back and thank everyone for their help. rhfrommn was right on the money - the Windows installer will trash everything in sight! Bought the disc (even though it practically made me physically ill to put even another penny into Gates' pockets) and it happily strangled FreeBSD. We are back to two computers for all the homework, games, etc. and I sincerely appreciate that all who helped, took the time to do so. Guess it's kinda sad, though. I would be more than willing to learn to use the FreeBSD, and teach my kids, on a finished computer with this OS, and be free of the Gates scourge. Ah, well.... Thanks again, everyone!

sade
SADE(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SADE(8) NAME
sade -- sysadmins disk editor SYNOPSIS
sade DESCRIPTION
The sade utility is used for various disk administration tasks on FreeBSD systems. It is generally invoked without arguments for the default behavior, where the main menu is presented. NOTES
The sade utility aims to provide a handy tool for disk management tasks on an already installed system. The goal is to provide the same text interface for disk management in bsdinstall(8) in the post-installation environment. SEE ALSO
bsdinstall(8), gpart(8) HISTORY
A program called sade first appeared in FreeBSD 6.3 as a utility encapsulating features from the sysinstall(8) installer. It was replaced in FreeBSD 10.0 with the equivalent part of bsdinstall(8). AUTHORS
Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@FreeBSD.org> BUGS
The utility misses a lot of nice features, such as tools for manipulating gmirror(8). These will be added later. BSD
