well, one of my computers got sick somehow, and now when XP starts to load, it gets stuck "thinking" as soon as the desktop appears... and nothing works... i tried CHKDSK /p/r, it found errors, thats about it... i also did FIXBOOT and FIXMBR just for sh!ts and giggles... so i decided to move...

get Partition Magic program and repartition////

and is it OK to just leave the ID jumpers alone to have Address 0 ??? - only one drive in the system...

so, i gotta get an internal SCSI cable and a terminator for it??? also, would MTR or SYM jumper settigns on the card be it???

OK - so i pulled everything apart again, cant quite figure out how to set what though... JUMPER INFO: *** The hard disk is an IBM 19K0613 9.1Gb USCSI LVD/SE It has 6 open jumpers: -- one has a strange triangular symbol with two arrows -- RES -- 8 \ -- 4 \ all these are marked ADDR -- 2...

the adapter card i was talking about plugs into the Ultra160 port that the hard drive has... on the other side it gives out a power connector and 2 types of SCSI (old and new)... theres no jumpers on the card... theres nothing to terminate on the cable either as it is an external type cable...

IBM doesnt have any jumper-settings info on the site i will try to find a readme the problem is that a normal sized Netfinity was cut in 3 pieces and put into a 6U case - and the drive is right on the bottom of that mess

yeah, that's what I figured thanx for the idea tho

You wouldn't happen to know how to set the Jumpers? I Can access them through a little panel, but cant see the top of the drive without taking the whole damn thing apart.

Ctrl-A is the SCSI-select Utility. It scans, but does not see the drive.

There only is one SCSI drive on Channel A. I am using an External cable with only one connector on each end. Channel B is not being used (I don't think that I have to terminate that one). I let the system automatically set the IDs.

i just finished putting together this monster rackmounted computer based on guts pulled from IBM Netfinity 4500R 8656RY with dual PIII. It used to run good with a huge 64-bit PCI controller card, but now i am trying to get it to work with an onBoard SCSI, which is an ADAPTEC AIC-7899 (39160)...

hi there, i just finished putting together this monster rackmounted computer based on guts pulled from IBM Netfinity 4500R 8656RY with dual PIII. It used to run good with a huge 64-bit PCI controller card, but now i am trying to get it to work with an onBoard SCSI, which is an ADAPTEC AIC-7899...

btw, yes there is a cd drive, but i always had to use the 6 floppies before the XP_Pro CD-ROM... otherwise it doesnt read the CD

here's more: its an IBM Netfinity rackmounted server with dual 933 processors and a Gig of RAM... it has 2 internal SCSI slots on mobo that i do NOT use... it also used to have a ServeRAID SCSI PCI card that was a pain in the ass to configure and re-configure all the time... I USED to have an...

i will check out UBCD, as of now i know nothing on how it works but it seems interesting, thanx for the suggestion :)

OK, you win :) thanx for the correction :) - good article!!! like i said, though, i'm not really performing a format of the drive, instead i select "keep the existing files"... i wonder if the Driver i am installing needs an updated version of Firmware/BIOS on the card - i havent updated...

cant format the drive cuz it has 230GB of files that i need... must install the system together with those files... (drives are formated in NTSC, not FAT) besides, formatting a HD won't erase the drivers loaded into memory, i've done it a-many times

ok, so i have this IBM Netfinity rackmount server. I got rid of all of the SCSI stuff and now run a few IDE drives from a Silicon Image UltraATA-133 PCI card... i've been trying to install XP_Pro on one of the drives, but so far - unsuccessfully... so i boot the 6 floppies, press F6 and load...

someone's gotta know something here, no??? *bumps the thread*
