Hello all.
I'm not after info how to rebuild the HDD, etc as I already know how.
The information I am after is, what is the MAXIMUM size of Hard Drive that the system will CORRECTLY recognise?
I recently had to buy a 16GB 50 pin drive as that is all I could get at the time but the system saw it as under 120MB so when it came to formatting it (using SCRATCH) it said it was under-sized!!
After the SCSI tests (which all passed) it states 'RUN Message, ADRS = 002BAE' whereas on the 'TEST' drive we have (which i think is 4.5GB) it states 'ADRS = 05F9C4' - is the ADRS a return message from the drive stating number of sectors or similar? This would make sense as the 16GB reported size has probably 'rolled over' in the CCU controller register or only the last or first 6 digits or similar has been read from the return message!
Or am I on completely the wrong track.
The drives I am having trouble with are Seagate ST318417N. I understand it is possible to programme the drive to a different (lower) capacity which I think would then work with the controller but I cannot find any software to do this, not even on Seagate's website :-(
Thanks all
