My EIIIXS doesn't recognize internal HDD help!

[John2]

Hi all,
when I select drives in my EIIIXS (ver 2.10, booted from diskette) it don't see internal hard drive, I tried to format the drive and it allow to select Quantum CTS40S in Format menu... but when I start formating after a several seconds it says: SCSI Hardware error! I don't have any external SCSI devices, but I have one SCSI terminator plugged into the port, also I tried to change EIII SCSI ID different from 7 and problem still there.... How I can fix it and what need to do with my hard drive? (when sampler boot at first time I hear that the hard drive has working sound then it make stopping)
Sorry for my english!

Hi,

unplug the external terminator (for the internal HD should be terminated internally), make sure there is not a SCSI ID conflict (the SCSI IDs of the internal HD and the EIIIX must be different!) and try to format the internal HD again. If it fails again, could indicate a dead drive...
