Yow! The drive manual says it *requires* Windows? Are you sure? I think FreeBSD would have trouble figuring this thing out since there is a 8GB limit floating around in the IDE code somewhere. I'm not sure if it was fixed for 2.2.7 or not. There is a bug in SysCommander that tweaks the system type in the partition table in a way that ticks the bootblocks off. I think you can disable it from the ALT-F10 setup menu in it.
