In the next screen, I put in the correct geometry, as reported by the BIOS, but after I hit q, I get the same error. The drive is a brand new 160 SATA Segate. The geometry FreeBSD suggests yield 152 Gigs, slices correctly and functions perfectly. I'm plannning on reformating anyway as this is only a test run, but do I need to be conserned about the error? - ------------------------------ Mike Loiterman grantADLER Tel: 630-302-4944 Fax: 773-442-0992 Email: mike@ascendency.net PGP Key: 0xD1B9D18E -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.1 iQA/AwUBQjIwn2jZbUnRudGOEQLIQwCdF8XAOxDEPJ0HtCQrwUpJMuhJ8u4Ani+M RKEnJ+qPARPSXH6SXuIrq7Ir =zBSp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
