wwwoooooowww there!!
get rid of that ibm drive and trade it in for another brand...
i once bought an ibm scsi drive and my A 4000 T didnt recognise it either... i did a google on its model number, and in one of the top 10 pages, was a forum in which an amiga user had the exact same brand of drive and he was running bsd... amigaos wont pick it up bsd... wont pick it up...
basically ibm scsi HDD's dont work with the amiga.... and i dont think its a software problem
it seems to me to be somthing that is unfixable :(

i still have that drive haning around doing nothing...

@melott
heheh! *g*

Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks

its not actually a type of drive, but 2 or more drives connected to gether in such a way that they are treated as one

either to give it redundancy(for better data integrity), more speed, or simply more capacity

there are different levels of raid:

melott,
im sorry to have to say this to you, however:

if your drive wont show up in HDToolBox, you will have a hard time trying to format it! you cant tell the computer to format what it cant find ;-)
