 Unfortunately, when I go to FDISK this via /usr/sbin/sysinstall I see
 the same error over and over and over trying to set my disk to the
 right cycls / heads / sectors.

 here are 2 screenshots of the messages :

 Even trying to set the disk manually gives the repeat_set_err.jpg,
 so I can't possibly have a correct disk geometry.

 Can anyone help me out ?  Any suggestions are welcome, I don't know if
 ignoring this is the best option.

There is more information in the FAQ, but yes, you should be able to
ignore it if the system seems to be working fine.
