The installer shows me the "unused" portion of the disk, The problem is you don't have any free space. FreeBSD needs it's own partition and it looks like all your space is allocated to the 2 dos/nt partitions. You'll need to use one of the partition tools to shrink your nt partition so you have room to create a FreeBSD partition.
