Grab your Phillips, it's... The Latest from The Screwdriver List!
Hi, folks, I have a system on which NT 4.0 Workstation and Server and three distributions of Linux have been able to see the three external SCSI drives attached to a SCSI card. Two of the drives are formatted with NTFS and FAT32; the third currently has the Linux ext2 file system. Linux was able to mount all three drives with no problems. With appropriate drivers Win98 SE has also been able to access the drives; of course, it couldn't read the ext2 file system or the NTFS volumes. Now, in a misguided attempt to make myself feel good, I installed Windows 2000 Pro (Workstation), Win 2k Advanced Server, and XP pro. Each was a separate install with a clean IDE boot drive. Each of the three operating systems can see the SCSI card (an Adaptec 2940AU), but not one of the three can see the SCSI drives. The drives are Seagate ST423451N, mounted in their own enclosure with a dedicated power supply. They are visible to the SCSI card, both at boot and through the card's configuration screens. The card is not sharing an IRQ. Video is presently plain-vanilla VGA from an AGP card for which Win2k has no dedicated driver. Memory is 256 meg; the CPU is an AMD K6/2-400 (not overclocked) on a K6BV3+ board. The power supply is new, 300 watts, and ATX. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
