a small update: after a bit of poking around, it happens that this machine has two identical quantum 17gb drives, which would account for the two scsi devices. it appears that doing that low-level format to the first drive (scsi id 0) hosed some things, so at the moment i am in the process of restoring a new array via the config utility that dell shipped with the machine. so after this we should be in a factory-released state, with the exception of NT not being installed. i sincerely apologize for not having my facts straight in the first place. i realize that this is a fundamental error. thank you for your help, and if the issue recurs, updates will be forthcoming. adam On Wed, 28 Jun 2000, Greg Scott wrote: > > 'low-level format' in this case means the format that you do from inside > > adaptec's scsiselect utility... the drive does show up in the adaptec scsi > > bios, it shows up as device #0 and device #1 ... this is another thing i > > wonder about, in the scsiselect utility, it shows the tape drive as id #6, > > the host adapter as id #7, and the hard disk (17GB) on id #0 and #1, as > > identical entries... is this odd, or is this ok? > > That would not be normal.
