Yes I was thinking a bad HDD also, but by coincidence the drive was working before I installed FreeBSD on it.

I tried 3 different cables, my other HDD boots up fine from the same cable, tried the master and slave connectors, checked all jumper settings so I would guess that goes towards ruling it out.

I agree it's probably bad drive electronics - I'm sure the BIOS would spit some error at least if it were an issue with the partition table. I will scrap the drive and install on another one.

Many thanks for your help jggimi
