we have the following scenario: inherited whitbox server, intel motherboard, adaptec 29160N scsi controller, 2 Seagate Cheetah 36GB drives. one hard drive failed giving a medium error when booting and the scsi controller gives this message upon post. we ordered and received a fujitsu 36GB map3367np HDD, changed the pinout in order to make it scsi id 1, current drive is scsi id 0; well when we do this the current good drive gives us the medium error message and is not seen by the OS (Windows 2003 std); we have tried all sorts of different combinations but cannot get the scsi controller to see the original Seagate drive as ID 0, and the Fujitsu drive as ID 1 simultaneously, we have tried changing the cable to no avail as this causes the same scenario as above. the only thing i have not tried is replacing scsi controller (no adaptec 29160N laying around).
Any help in getting this resoled would be greatly appreciated. David Elebute ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
