Greetings, I own a Maxtor 91360D8 13 Gig IDE drive. I have partitioned it using Dos 6.22 and partition magic. One Fat16 partitition which has windows 98 on it, and is 7 gigs large. I am trying to install Freebsd 4.0 in the rest of the drive. I boot up with the cdrom and by the messages that scroll by i am seeing that the drive is being detected as a Maxtor drive with 4112650 sectors. When I arrive at the main install screen, i switch to the virtual window to see what the error is, and the following appears: ad0s1: Slice extends beyond end of disk: Truncating from 18442557 to 4124673 sectors. When i get to the partition manager, the disk geometry says 256 cyls/255 heads / 63 sectors. One partition gets detected( the DOS partition), but it is smaller than it should be, and when i try to create a new one, (a freebsd partition) there's no more space left it says. I've tried to repartition many times but cannot get rid of the error above. My BIO says the following for this drive: Size CYLS Head Precomp Landz Sector Mode 13597 1653 255 0 26352 63 LBA Any ideas?
