SCSI drive appears as 7 drives in Windows XP

[nolacoaches]

I have attached a 3rd hdd to a WinXP PC that has 2 IDE drives. The 3rd drive is a Seagate ST336607LW SCSI drive attached to an Adaptec 29160 controller. Lun support is turned off on the controller. In Windows disk management, the drive appears 7 times. Properties show it as 7 different LUN's. Paragon Hard Disk Manager also sees it 7 times. The disk is factory configured for SCSI ID 0 and is found in the SCSI BIOS only once.

When I try to assign a drive letter to any of the instances of the partitions on the drive, I receive a message the volume is in use try again.


FYI: The scsi drive was in use on an NT server that apparently is having a controller problem. Pretty sure the drive is OK since I used HDM to copy the partition to one of the IDE drives and all of the files are intact.

OOPS! Having a post Katrina brain cramp here. Part of the problem is that the 3rd hard drive is of course Disk 2 in Windows disk manager and has been assigned drive letters G: and H: for the 2 partitions on it. So that is why I cann't assign drive letters to the other 7 appearances. Not a problem. I still want to know why the drive appears 8 times when I have LUN support turned off.

PS: FYI: New Orleans is still a great town to have fun in. Everyone help us rebuild: Come be a tourist, have fun, spend some money.
