Actually what he wants is a pretty simple thing to do and very much
doable. 
All you need to do is to fire up e.g Qemu on Windows
( http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/ ) , start a BSD iso with it and
install to your drive , e.g. :
qemu -boot d -cdrom your.iso

I never tested it on Windows thought and the command line is what I do
on my FreeBSD laptop to test iso images of wifibsd.


Cheers,
Marcin.
