Perhaps you need to defragment the Windows partitions first. You need to add a primary partition for FreeBSD, an extended partition with logical partitions can't be used to install FreeBSD. I've got FreeBSD and tons of Linux installed, no Windows. However, my partition table is MBR based, as yours. Gparted can't create the FreeBSD slice, you need to do this with e.g. the FreeBSD installer. I had to use 8.3 and than to update to 9.1, I tested 9.0 first, but I couldn't create the slice, resp. the partitions in that slice. Hth, Ralf -- http://sacom.hk/mission
