OT HELP REQUEST:
I've got a Quantum XP34300 hard drive that is giving me grief.
It is getting power, it spins up, but it is not being recognized by the
SCSI adaptor. I've switched it to a different system with a different
adaptor and the same thing happens.
On the system its connected to now with a BusLogic adaptor, I switched on
the Send Start option and it kicked the drive into operation, but only
once. And when the OS loaded (I'm just running DOS) the drives in the
drive table showed up as F: and G: but when I accessed F: there were no
files (there should be a ton) and when I tried to access G: the computer
froze. After that, the drive stopped responding altogether again.
Since I have two of these drives my next thought is to swap the logic
board on the good one with the flaky one as I really need the data off the
flaky one.
Any ideas?
