I have a 9.1gb with a 80pin to 68pin adapter and Adaptec 2940U2 - the drive absolutely will NOT format. I have tried Partition Magic 8, Fdisk, Win2000 and XP install etc.....it see's the drive, it formats, but when it reaches 100% it returns with a cannot format drive error.
I can low-level the drive in the SCSI bios, and the drive is seen everywhere. I believe because the problem is that it is a Compaq server drive - and it is used in a PC. The Compaq drives all have a diagnostic bios partition - but I have already removed all partitions.
Any suggestions? Please help me......
