      I've been using pfSense for years now and I have never had any issues.  I'm moving my gateway to a different machine and i'm doing a fresh install.  The LiveCD boots fine and operates just fine as normal, even when I load up my config from my current gateway .. it all works.

      When I install pfSense from the LiveCD to the HDD (option 99), it gets through everything properly .. sees the disk, formats the disk and then at creating subpartitons, it gets to 90% and errors:

      Execution of the command
      
      /sbin/newfs /dev/ad0s1a
      
      FAILED with a return code of 36
      

      and it just keeps giving that error, some return with code 1

      any help would be greatly appreciated

        Looks like a bad hard drive, try a known good one and see what happens.

            What does your Xen config look like?
