Up until now, I've installed FreeBSD on smaller drives (< 15 gig), but I recently had to replace the HD in my windows machine, so I got a larger hard drive with the idea of installing fBSD on it as well and dual booting that machine.

I did look through the manual and searched a bit on google, but I'm not having much luck finding even suggestions of what to try. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I reported a similar problem with a Maxtor D740X-SL 40GB drive a few
weeks ago.  I cannot get this drive to work properly with recent
versions of FreeBSD, and get the same error during installation.  The
disk seems to work fine with Fedora and Ubuntu.  I made it work by
disabling DMA, but the performance was awful.  My motherboard is an ASUS
P4S533.
Hmmm ... well, I already have a few fBSD installs, maybe I'll try Ubuntu or something for the dual-boot. Never hurts to try something new.
