[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Help needed with ST-296N and Adaptec 16-bit SCSI card

gt4719b@prism.gatech.EDU (Dave) (04/25/91)

I am trying to replace my ST-02 card with an Adaptec 16 bit card.  I replaced
the cards and the drive sort-of came up on it's own.  

I have the drive partitioned into two partitions, and the first one came up.
I could access and run the files, but I could not boot.

I tried low level formating, but nothing could format the drive (without the
st-02)

I then tried to fdisk the drive, and it seemed to work, but when the system 
rebooted, the partitions I defined weren't there.  

(It did delete the partitions, though)

Does anyone know what I should try?  I don't have the manual for the Adaptec
card, so I can't look anything up.  

I think the model number of the Adaptec is: AIC-6250DL



Please email ALL responses.
