The rest of setup worked, and i went into "install.exe". During this, I skipped the boot loader installation because i wanted to install that later. It then took me on the package installation, and i chose what i wanted to. I then continued and it formatted the freebsd disk, but afterwords told me that I either had an old version of freebsd or it couldn't find the disk label, and it gave me a list of packages it couldn't install. (which was about everything i tried to install including bin etc...) So i rebooted into winblows and, as i figured, no longer had that drive available because freebsd formatted it as freebsd native. I then decided to install the boot loader i got from ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/freebsd/tools, but got an "error 3 writing to boot on disk0". Now i am stuck and have no clue what to do or how to do it.
