All went well, and using sysinstall I put one single partition/slice on this extra drive, ad1. I didn't mount it, but since I didn't get any errors I figured everything had gone well and rebooted. Now, after reboot, I can't access the drive. Not with fdisk, sysinstall nor disklabel. I get these messages, no matter what I try: #disklabel ad1 ad1: HARD READ ERROR blk# 0 status=59 error=04 ad1: reading primary partition table: error reading fsbn 0 disklabel: /dev/ad1c: Input/output error I have tried to redo the installation, using both sysinstall and dd, but I am met with the same messages, no matter what I try. My system: Blue Lightning 486-DX66 FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE The new hard drive is: Fujitsu MPB3021AT What should I do now? I would be very happy if someone could help me.
