scsi drive not working

[billy00973]

Hi. I have a seagate ST423451W hooked up to a Buslogic BT-950. The drive has been low level formatted with the controller. The problem is, it is not assigned a drive letter in dos. It has a drive letter in Win98. In Win98, the computer freezes whenever i try to write to the drive. Thanks in advance.

Have you run the setup utility during bootup? it should ask you to press a key to enter the utility when it gives you the information.

Do you have the SCSI cable terminated correctly?
Then, you need to partition the drive, and install file systems onto the partition(s) you made. Both W98 and DOS use "fdisk" and "format" utilities for these tasks.
Now when you make a FAT32 type partition, legacy DOS won't see it.

I cannot partition the drive with fdisk, as it does not show up.

Have you put the drivers and ASPI support for the controller onto the boot disk? They're available here:

If you need a BOOT disk to modify, it's available here:

Use the Windows 98 boot disk as a base and it will support the FAT32 file system as well.

Also, consider the Firmware.
