Hi everybody
I have about 20Gb unused space and  40Gb of  NTFS on my HDD an I want to
change them to ufs . But everytime when I tried with cfdisk-linux   or
sysinstall => configure => fdisk (as root )  it is said that I am not
allowed to write disk table (or something like "disk read only" )  But I am
root , why did it happen? someone show me solution plz?

Are you booting FreeBSD from a 3rd partition on that same disk, and then trying to run these tools? I don't believe that is allowed. You need to boot from CD or floppy to do formatting and partitioning on the same drive that FreeBSD normally boots from.
