I just bought a brand new 5.2 Gig maxtor drive. I can install FreeBSD but when its running I get write errors and the system soon crashes. I have set the drive up has normal, LBA, and Large with the same results. Should I try a low-level format? Should I return the drive? What should I do? How can I tell if the drive is bad or I have just screwed it up? -Mike
