Try manually setting the Landing Zone to 0 (zero).
You didn't mention if FDisk correctly reported the size of the drive before
you formatted.
Hope this helps,

Can any of you tell me if my Bios auto detected my hard drive correctly..?
This is written on the hard drive itself:
(CHS) 16,383 Cylinders 16 heads 63 sectors
40079088 addressible sectors
This is what was autodetected in my bios:
Capacity 20521
Cylinder 39761
Head 16
Precomp 0
Landing Zone 39760
Sector 63
