I'm still trying to clone a Seagate ST34573W (Barracuda 9LP family) SCSI hard drive, and finding it tough to do. It is no fault of G4U. The drive is installed on an Asus P2B motherboard with a Pentium II processor, and it has an SCSI CD drive. The CD drive tray is broken; it won't eject or retract, and I must use a paper-clip-in-the-hole to get it to eject. I am uncertain if the drive can spin a CD and read it. The floppy drive might work, I'm not sure. The SCSI controller is a DPT PM2144UW which is apparently this thing:
http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support/_eol/dpt_raid/PM2144UW/ ...and I don't know how to configure that controller so that the CD drive, broken as it is, will be the first device to boot from. I've forgotten all my SCSI -- not that I knew much to start with. The final problem is, the BIOS setup menus are all password protected. No one knows what the BIOS password is. I'm afraid to follow the Asus instructions for clearing the password away. Doing so will clear not merely the BIOS password but all the CMOS settings, too. And I might need those settings left intact; I don't know what they are. To get the drive cloned, it looks like my best bet will be to boot from g4u floppy images. This assumes that the floppy drive will work. My question is, do the floppy images of G4U provide the same functionality as booting from the iso version? Thanks!
