Error loading internal IDE Hard Drive

[chuck]

The drive appears in the file manager, but fails loading with an input/output loader. In a previous version of PCBSD I could load it manually, but not now.

It makes the right noises when clicked in the file manager but results in the message
An error occurred while accessing "149 GiB Hard Drive" The system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Unknownfailure:m ount_msdosfs: /dev/msdosfs/TANGO: Input/output error

The Input/out error is all I get when mounting manually
mount -t msdosfs -o large /dev/ad2s1 /dev/drivef
mount msdosfs: Input/output error

I suspect possibly an error in translation as it is a 160GB. I assume FAT32 although I didn't format it. Also I've never seen this TANGO identifier.

Thanks for any help!!!

After it fails to mount, if you run "dmesg" do you see any ad2: errors
scroll by?

No I don't see that message Kris

After a failed attempt I get this message in dmesg

Warning number of clusters (4882657) exceeds FAT capacity (4882048)
