Re: how to slave scsi drives?
If I where you, I would try get some jumper-info for the Barracuda disk.

Re: how to slave scsi drives?
Erik, See http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/scsi/st34520lw.html for jumper settings, et al, on the ST34520LW disc. If the disc is not visible even after changing the SCSI-ID, I recommend you try, in the following order: I assume the chain runs like this CARD --BARRACUDA --34520 Is the Baracudda terminated? If yes, don't. The 34520 should be terminated. Are they on the same cable? Try changing the cable (Most common cause of SCSI problems*) BTW, Seagate has one of the best support areas on the web. Note *: Most people know that the SCSI Bus must be terminated on full moon nights, in goat's blood. What they fail to realize is that must be a seventh son of a seventh son. That's all it takes to SCSI well. - Original Message - From: Erik Peter P.

RE: how to slave scsi drives?
Hello Eric, You do not slave the SCSI drives. Your controller looks for SCSI ID 0 or 1 and boots from either of them. You can togle between those two ID's if you have two drives.

Re: how to slave scsi drives?
Jerry, Sorry, but this sounds wrong. SCSI ID can go from 0 to 7 (or 0 to 15, depending on the bus). The decision of which one to boot from, or what file to load, is up to the BIOS or PROM or IPL or whatever. Regards, - Original Message - From: Jerzy Miszczyk [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Erik Peter P.

RE: how to slave scsi drives?
Hello Sanjeev, I might be wrong, I am not sure about the modern controllers (I am used to old ways :)) ), but not long ago if the controller did not found hard disc on ID 0 or 1 it simply did not load the BIOS and the system could not boot :)).
