The BIOS and everywhere else see's = it as a 40 GB drive but when I get into FreeBSD's FDISK part it thinks = it's a 2 GB drive. =20 I hooked up an 8 GB and FreeBSD thinks THAT is an 8 GB... So must be a = problem with the 40 GB? Any ideas? Suggestions? I flashed my bios to the newest version. It's an ASUS TXP4 motherboard = if that matters. Thanks in advance for any help!
