Installation problem

[Derek Schwartz]

Hey, I'm trying to install the latest release of FreeBSD on my Dell
Desktop, the computer originally had windows XP, but then the hard
drive was wiped clean.
I tried reconfiguring the geometry of the hard drive by using my Linux
Ubuntu Disk Utility, I changed it to {0-a5} which I heard was for
FreeBSD, but still no luck.
I still get the error, "read error, {0-01}"

can someone please help me?

Derek
