Hi, I spent the last few days downloading freeBSD 7.0 Stable, and wipped my hard drive this morning. put the boot cd in, and it runs the entire setup. goes through, the fdisk setup, and Problem 1 happens.
It says thats my drive geometry is incorrect, and will adjust things to it right... which i don't understand anyway. so then I make the partition, and make the slices(all auto). after that it looks like it mounts the drives. But then problem 2 happens.
Error Mounting /dev/acd0 on /dist: Input/output error (5)
I can't do anything at this point now. Im at a friends house using his net. I don't have another OS, I had windows XP home but I never got the CD when i bought the system, windows or unix base. What am I doing wrong and How do I fix it..
I have done searches on google, and freebsd.org, it would seem Im not the only person with this error, but I can't seem to find a fix, How can I get this error fixed so i can atleast get my computer back online.
I have a celeron 1.78Ghz single core, 2gb ram, dvd/cd burner, 160GB Western Digital HHD, video and audio shouldn't matter I think, but Im using a PCI video with onboard Video disabled.
Any Help is appreciated.
