I've had cases where the size is correctly detected but the drive just didn't work correctly. (eg VIA MVP3 + IBM DTLA 75Gb) I upgraded the M/B. What does the manual say about maximum drive size? Do you have the latest BIOS? Normally I would recommend using the drive vendor tool to reduce the UDMA level to match the M/B. However, it looks like the Maxtor tool doesn't support this drive (yet) :( You are using an 80 way cable, aren't you? Is the error always the same block? -- ian j hart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
