flipbosch Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 He, I have formatted my server. There are 3 SCSI harddiscs from 200GB each in my server.I have installed Windows 2003 and formatted them to NTFS.The only strange thing is that the server says that there are 3 SCSI harddiscs from 16,8 GB each.Does anybody know how I can resolve this problem
FAT64 Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Are you sure you have installed the right SCSI drivers?
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I've never heard of a 200GB SCSI drive. SCSI drive sizes pretty much follow a doubling standard:4GB (varies from 4, 4.3 and the occassional 4.5)9GB (usually 9.1GB)18GB (18.1 and 18.2GB)36GB73GB146GB300GBAre your drives connected to a SCSI RAID controller?
flipbosch Posted April 3, 2006 Author Posted April 3, 2006 Thanx all for the help. You are right. The are 73GB each , It was more a example..Iám not sure if the drivers are up te date. I am also not sure if the server is using a RAID controller but I don’t thinks so.When I start my server the follow lines are displayt.Adaptec AIC=7890 SCSI Bios v25701 1 xxx 2 xxx3 xxx4 xxxAdaptec AIC=7880 SCSI Bios v25701 5 xxx6 xxx7 xxx8 xxxxxx means cdrom/ scsi controller scsi disks etc.How can I check if the drivers are installed correctly. I don’t see an error if I go to the system properties.Maybe it are some stupid questions but I’m really new to SCSI.Thanx again
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Windows Server 2003 has built in drivers for those controllers.You shouldn't be having a problem unless the controllers are configured incorrectly. Go into the setup for each one and set it back to the defaults (there should be an option).
