SCSI Drives are not accessible...

[cpc101]

Hello,

I have a workstation running WinNT Server 4.0 SP6. It has a Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card with two IBM SCSI 4.0GB drives. There is also an IDE CD-Rom Drive on the secondary IDE controller.

We removed our ailing DLT drive from the PDC to test it out on the box described above. When we plugged it in and started up the PC NT returned an error...

STOP: at 0x0,7B INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE

I have tried the fixes from Adaptec which involve running setup from diskette and manually addding the drivers for the SCSI Card and CD-ROM Controller but can not get anywhere with it.

Any Ideas???

Thank you!!!

It sounds like the scsi devices are not configured properly so the OS on one of the hard drives is not available for boot up. Since you are adding the DLT, and presumably it worked before that, I would check to make sure the jumper settings on the DLT drive don't conflict with one of the existing scsi devices, and ensure that the last device on the scsi chain is properly terminated.

DLT drive was thrashed...

Had to run ERD to get the test server back up.

HP had a new DLT to me in lees than 24 hrs.

All is well once again...

Thanks!!!!
