partition problem

When I want to install FreeBSD and do the guided partition I get a GTP partition scheme. But my computer cannot work with it. So what is the best choice to make now?

GPT should be backwards compatible with almost everything. What happens on your unidentified computer?

You could install 8-STABLE, which still uses sysinstall and sets up MBR partitioning. Otherwise, boot the FreeBSD 9 install CD as a live CD and use fdisk(8) and bsdlabel(8) from there, then boot into the installer and tell it to use the existing setup. (Disk Setup On FreeBSD)
 
When I do this on my AMD 4 K8 machine with 1G memory and I choose with easybcd FreeBSD then the computer reboots.

I will try to use fdisk and bsdlabel.
Thanks for the tip.

Edit 1: Can I easily upgrade to version 9 if I install version 8?
