Large SCSI Hard Drive Problem

[Ellis]

under 3.9 os it should work but HD tool  box sucks! I have used a program called RD prep and you should be able to get it off of Aminet.

Have you set up a RDB on this hard drive?
If not; this is what RD prep does best. If you have never set up hard drives before be sure to read all instructions. RD prep is not exactly for the beginner but if you study it ,you will be fine! RD also partitions Hard drives and formats also. Don't format with it use the format tool in workbench.    

You, say that this is a new 47 gig ? How many pins 50pin,68pin or 80pin ? What type SCSI 2,3  ultra wide ? If it is a ultra wide (newer type) you will have to move a jumper on the drive. I don't know about the warp engine?What type of SCSI? I do know that the 3000 has SCSI 2 built in and will work with a ultra wide but you need a adapter for the drive.

You have a jumper on that hard drive that must be jumped! Instead of me trying to tell you which jumper to set and being wrong. Surplus Computers has a web site goto it and leave a email for tech services. Give them all info models and such on your hard drive and tell them you just purchased it. You need to know what type scsi you have ie. SCSI 2 ect. :also tell them you are using a 68/50 pin adapter. They will email you back ASAP. I know because I bought a Seagate Barracuda ,SCSI. ultra Wide, 80pin hard drive. I had to do the same thing to get it to work and I belive the jumper is called the force signal;not positive!

I'm working on getting you that RD prep program!
