SCSI drives

[melott]

Yes...... I'm running OS 3.1.
HarddriveTools can see the drive, but hangs-up
when tring to get the info from the drive.
I downloaded a couple progies from Aminet,
one called 'SCSIProbe' and the other called
'SCSIFormat'. SCSIProbe scans the disk and lists
the info on it. SCSIFormat is supposed to format it.
I would say the drive is okay, I just have to low-level
format it so my A3k can use it. The problem now is
(I think) that the author of SCSIFormat didn't put any
examples of the command to use this progie.
(It was probably ment for people smarter than me ;-)
Anyway .. thats where I'm at now.
Anyone ever used 'ScsiFormat' from Aminet

Hi!

First off which controller, onboard?

Make sure that your scsi chain is correctly terminated, and that the jumpers are correctly set on all your scsi units.

You don't need to lowlevel-format the drive. Just create the partitions you need, format them and you're set to go.

You may be pushing the limit on hd size for that OS ver. I had a simaler problem when I switched from 1Gb quantem to 18Gb seagate. What HD Tools saw and what was there was not the same. there still maybe something with the scsi card that may allow you to partition it. Once thats done your ok.

I would be willing to trade you for the IBM 4.3 G,
Only cost to each of us the Shipping of the drives to
each other. My Phone # is: 253-941-9229 Feel free
