I have a Compaq Presario Notebook in the V2000 series. I just replaced the hard drive because the original was getting disk errors. I have a WD Scorpio 120 GB. When I try to load FreeBSD I get an error message when I get to the partition the disk stage. It says my disk geometry is wrong. It says I need to use whatever numbers my BIOS uses. But my BIOS doesn't show the disk geometry numbers anywhere I can see. How can I proceed? How can I find out what disk geometry to use?
