When I installed Windows on the same drive, it would work fine. I even got the drive replaced by Seagate, but it did not solve the problem. After three drives, I found a page on the net which said that the sata driver in fbsd had some problems with smartmon. I disabled it in the bios and haven't had any problem since for the past 5 months. Haven't tried this smartmontools though Regards Gautham
