Middleware Error Unable To Gpt Format The Disk Ada0

Error: Failed To Wipe Ada0: Dd: /dev/ada0: Operation Not Permitted
but I can't get it to work. I'm confused as to why dd isn't working. Any insight would be dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada0 greatly appreciated. The only thing about this drive is that it's on a separate controller but that shouldn't matter, especially considering it shows up.

What does dmesg show for ada0? What version of FreeNAS are you using etc.? What kind of disk / controller are you using?

as EFI GPT mastakebobApril 5th, 2009, 02:31 PMI have a drive that I am unable to reformat to EXT3. The drive is a relatively new (~1 year) 500GB Western Digital 3.5'' EIDE drive. The drive was originally used in my freeNAS box, so it was formatted with UFS. However, I now want to use it in my Kubuntu box so I'm trying to reformat it to EXT3. Thats where my problem is: It won't reformat. I've tried gparted and 'wipe'ing the partition clean (wipe /dev/sdg1). Every time I list my drives with 'sudo fdisk -l', I get that the drive is formatted with "EFI GPT" and a warning saying that "GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdg'! The until fdisk doesn't support GPT". Output of fdisk -l: <...my other disks info...> WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdg'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.

I reformatted it to ext3 with gparted, and didn't notice that fdisk still had it listed as EFI GPT. I was able to use it for a bit in my linux box but noticed that some files (movie files) would play fine,
