Installer does not show the correct size of the usb drive

[digrouz]

Hello,

I'm trying to install freenas from cdrom to an usb drive (Lexar JumpDrive S23 USB 3.0 16Go). The cd boot correctly but then when I try to install on my usb drive, it tell me that the usb drive is to small because it a only one sector. I tried several way to format that drive and I receive always the same behavour. I've tried several version: stable, beta and nightly, finishing always to the same too small drive. I don't think it's an usb3 related issue because my computer has only usb2 controller.

Any idea how I can fix this?

Which utility did you use to format and on which operating system? If Windows, use a utility such as Active@ KillDisk.
