'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? adam On Wed, 28 Jun 2000, Greg Scott wrote: > > up to this point is with IDE, so it's possible that i'm missing something > > silly here... i can confirm that the hardware itself is working ok, since > > NT booted and operated fine (not anymore since i did a low-level format...) > > Umm, hmm, first question would be.. what is your definition of 'low-level > format'? > > Second is, does the drive actually show up in the Adaptec SCSI BIOS?
