      Execution of the command /sbin/fdisk -v -f /tmp/new.fdisk.ad0

      Failed with a return code of 1.

      Anybody had this issue?

      I'm using a MaxTerm terminal PC, with a 60GB IDE Hard drive using a laptop IDE > PC IDE adapter.

      Installing PfSense using MemStick image. MemStick image works fine to boot and work from.

      Tried using a small 3gb partition to install on to no avail.

      Tried writing all to 0's to no avail.

      Any ideas?

        Does anyone know whether this error pertains to the formatting of the disk or the writing to the disk?

        If the formatting is the issue could I use gparted?

              FreeBSD also won't partition the drive.

              LBA set in BIOS causes errors, can't format.
              Auto it sees the drive but cannot format, errors.
