FreeBSD Install Problem

Hello,

I have a problem installing FreeBSD 9.0 Releaseon my Lenovo Thinkpad R61i laptop (4GB RAM, 160GB HDD, 32-bit). It doesn't matter if I tried installing it from the CD or the DVD, I still have the same problem. I even tried re-downloading and re-burning a new CD or DVD, and I'm still unable to install. I even have problems going through the "sysinstall" route.


In the installation process, I'm able to go far to the partitioning area in where the problem occurs. I click for "Guided" partitioning and then I receive this "Abort" message:

Abort
------

An installation step has been aborted. Would you like to restart the installation or exit the installer?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Restart ]                         [ Exit ]

-------------------------------------

When I click restart I end up with the same result, and I end up in a neverending cycle of unable to install.


(I even have a the same problem installing from GhostBSD.) 



Is there any remedies to this problem? 


Thank you so much,

--Christopher
