Re: Windows Server not seeing SCSI HDD

Hey Bongo

I looked internally here (at Big Blue) and we have a few 2000 drivers for various Raid/Scsi cards but they aren't supported any longer and we can't give 'em out either.

Did you try here thou:

https://www-304.ibm.com/systems/supp...andind=5000008

it's the version 1 driver (the original 2K U-320 Scsi driver that was a derivative of the original Adaptec provided one.

Stupid question maybe but did you tappety tap "F6" to install additional drivers during install?

Additionally, some of these chassis/mobo's were supplied with onboard SCSI/raid controllers & others weren't - is this new hardware or second-hand? Do you have a part number for the mobo & also the card (if it's seperate)?

As most people here on the forum will tell you : Windows 2000 isn't supported by Microsoft and / or ANY OEM either. Here at IBM,we don't even carry out support or maintenance to customer systems any longer, and upgrades are no longer the "norm" they are the exception. If the your customer is "penny pinching" now, then (IMHO) you are only going to create more future problems for yourself.

The SBS licence is cheaper (by far) and if he's a start-up then selling him the "support package" for SBS2003 that you and other suppliers can / could provide should save him problems in future. What will he do when he wants to connect his new "iphone" to 2K for example.

Been there tried that and gave up.................

If he's going to continue with 2K, then hope that link works for you & good luck.
