Hi all,
I have an Acer Altos server which has onboard Adaptec SCSI Controllers Model number AIC-7899. Attached to one each of these I had 2 x Hitachi SCSI Hard Disks model number IC35L073UCDY10-0 which were 36GB in capacity. I use a Windows 2000 Mirror to maintain these drives. One of the disks failed and has been replaced with an IBM Branded (sticker only, it really is a Hitachi) which is model number IC35L073UCDY10-0 but is 73GB in capacity. It also has SCSI-SSA on rather than just SCSI. When I installed this disk I can't intialize it because windows reports an error whilst attempting and tells me to check the event log. The event log reports an error – Source is adpu160m and Event ID is 11 which simply reports a controller error.
I have already checked for updated drivers for the controller and hard disk but there aren't any available above what I have. My other hard disk is fine and the SCSI BIOS reports both the disks fine.
Do I have a compatibility problem?
Can I use this drive?
Thanks.
