Hello.

I have an american megatrends corp motherboard with an amd 2 ghz  
processor,
For some reason, the values of hard disk geometry (cylinders/head/ 
sectors( are not accrptable to fdisk and when i agree to using  
freebsd 's idea of disk geometryt, during sysinstall -I get an error:-0
UDMA_100 error:READWRITE Failure ICRC error.

can someone tell me how to get past this issue? The drive is a maxtor  
40 Gb hard disk.

thanks
-kamal
