Maybe "LARGE" or "CHS"? Is there a risk that I lose all data on my disk, when changing this in the BIOS? BTW: During the fresh FreeBSD install, I have never encountered a choice for formatting with or without LBA. In the Fdisk window, I choose 'use entire disk for FreeBSD', and in the partition window I have set 'newfs' for all partitions. Thanks, Rob. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
