AFAIK, you can't have a primary partition *after* an extended one,
which is what you are implying "the partition I created is at the
end with 400megs" is. Which means you have two 400MB logical drives
in an extended partition.
If this is the case then you won't be able to install FreeBSD, it
must be in a primary partition (I take it you're not planning on
overwriting Windows, even though it is a nice thought :-) ).
