 Jay,
 
 I think the problem is the BIOS limit of 4 primary partitions.
 You seem to be trying to create a 5th primary partition for FreeBSD.
 The BIOS won't support that -- you will have to either combine some
 of your NTFS partitions (i.e. use a "logical" partition instead of a
 primary partition), or get another drive. Sorry! I ran into the same
 problem yesterday!
