SCSI disks don't have Master/Slave settings. They do have a Logical Unit Number jumper that needs to be set so it doesn't conflict with any other SCSI devices. If this is the only device, no jumper (drive 0) is fine.

What is the status of the SCSI disk as shown in Disk Management?

Foreign
Initializing
Not Initialized
Online
Online (Errors)
Offline
Unreadable

If it's Online and has a partition, does it show how it's formatted? (FAT, FAT32, NTFS, RAW, Unknown)
Does it say it's Healthy?

hi jerry,
thanks for reply.....it show not mounted

Not Mounted isn't even show in the help file for XP or Vista, so I'm guessing this is Windows 2003?
Have you disabled automounting of volumes?
What options do you get when you right clidk the Drive stats, and also when you right click the partition? If you get an option to mount, or change drive letter and path, you should be able to assign a letter, or mount the drive into an empty NTFS folder.

I don't have Win2K3, so I can't do a lot of testing or looking I'm afraid, just a lot of googling
