A4000 tower...help!

[Markus_Bieler]

Let the drive flashing for about two minutes. What happens then?
It could be that the drive isn't correctly installed and that the scsi-bus is searching for it.

You could start with the power unplugged to the drve and after booting plug in the power for this drive and start HD-Toolbox.

Try another scsi-hd.

etc.

I guess Bad drive

Disable fast scsi and tzry again.

check the drives jumper for term, termpower, parity, synchronous etc.

Is the scsi-chain properly terminated. There is a active terminator attached to the board wherwe the external floppy connector would have been. The holes are there but no socket fitted. (I soldered them and I have external floppy)

The scsi-controller in the A4000T has also id#7. Mine does.

I have tem enabled at the controller and I use the SCSI-actve_terminator at the board with the serial and parallel connectors. no term or termpower enabled at the drives.

(Sorry, I thougt it was attached to the board with the empty floppy-connector. I had to saw the terminator from the board to gain space for the external floppy connector)

Well you can change it to another id. But factory installed it is id#7
