Looks like the disk itself is not working properly. There are probably a bunch of bad sectors on it.

But I connect this hdd in 2.5 usb case and boot FreeBSD successful. This works fine but small speed 40Mbit if connect this hdd to ide port (44 pin) - speed is 100Mbit ....

 

[andrian]

Have ideas?

Sure, bad cable? Bad controller?

 

[andrian]

Maybe, If bad cable (or bad controller) why install process successful?

 

[andrian]

I have only one ide 44 pin cable and one hdd ....

Look meatman, what are you doing using IDE, it's frickin 2016.

What does the dmesg show when you boot the disk from USB in verbose mode?

You're right, it was a bad cable! Thanks, I'm so sorry.
