Do you have the OEM host adapter drivers from Adaptec on a floppy and have you inserted the disc after pressing F6? Windows setup needs those to install. Otherwise, "no hard drive has been found."
I checked the Adatpec site for your model and found nothing. Are you sure that's the correct model #? > -----Original Message----- > I have 147GB U320 SCSI HD w/ an AHA-39320A-R Host Adapter.
