When i tried to copy a file it doesn't copy the whole thing. I got some kind of warning when i first mounted it. Oh yeah it was formated with lba cmos value for 1.6 gig and it had 3 meg's of bad partition's. Is dos partition's over 540 meg's just not supported? My second question is if i can't get the whole 1.6 gig partition how do i go about blocking out the 3 meg's so i can have like a 540 meg dos and whatever's left for FreeBSD. P.S almost forgot to mention that this is under FreeBSD 2.2 as of a few day's ago.With a Western digital 1.6 gig IDE drive.
