Is this space you freed located inside an extended partition? If so,
that won't work. FreeBSD can only be installed in a primary partition.
(I'm talking about MS partitions, which in FreeBSD are called slices.)

Absolutely. There are several ways to install FreeBSD, among others from
CD-ROM, FTP, floppy, FAT disk, NFS, etc. (Windows file sharing would be
tricky though.)
