Thank you in advance for your time. 

While I was going through the process of installing BSD I discovered
that if I have to reinstall windows after BSD, windows will mess up the
boot manager. (ie. I no longer have the option at start-up to boot BSD)
This was not a problem at the time because I could simply re-install
BSD. However, now that I am using BSD I would not want this to happen in
the future. Surely there must be a way to rectify the damage that the
windows setup does.

Any help would be appreciated.
