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
