SCSI Disk Installation

[WolverineLogan]

Installed my Adaptec SCSI AAA131U2 card along with the drivers on Windows 2000, attached a seagate ST39173LW SCSI
hard drive but hard isn't detected.

ie. Hard drive doesn't show in My Computer.

SCSI cable is 68 pin with 8 connectors

Is it the only drv on your scsi card? If not make sure you have the scsi jumpers set ie, id#0=1,id#1=2(Hdrv 68pin connector). I assuming you did a fdisk and format C: /s on the drv. I have a 2940uw scsi card and 3hdrv as such(drv#=0,#2=1#3=2) and 2ea cd roms on the card (50pin) connector ea w/ an ID# and all device (5in all)work fine.
