I've tried first just forcing the drive into LBA instead of auto, and
this solved the problem.
The only (small) problem that appeared was with the WebGUI interface.
The default metallic theme gives me a rendering problem with
windows/Firefox, in which the System and Diagnostics menus overlap. With
the pfsense theme, Firefox works fine, but since I couldn't access the
system menu, I had to do this switch with IE. The pfsense-dropdown theme
gave me a similar problem, but instead System, I can't access the
Diagnostics section.
Did somebody else have this problem?
Thank you very much,

then. I have seen the same problem with some machines and unchecking "packetmode" always fixed it. Also make sure your
drive is set to "LBA" in the Bios and not "CHS" or "Auto".
