Can you tell us when you get the error message (during instal cd's boot / during reading of the partition table / during writing the partition table / installing / ect.)
One thing might be if you have another partition (not sure why it would matter) that Reactos cant identify, or is not formatted correctly.

Can you give us more details about the machine that gave you that FreeLdr error? What kind of motherboard and chipset etc. It could also be a problem with the CHS reading code in Freeldr. LBA usually has no problem but CHS can be tricky for old machines.
