Re: [foxboro] Seagate ST38410A hard drive

From my SCSI experience I remember this after installing a drive from "stock" 
that did not have any partition table at all.
Did you try to do a format?

On B boxes you would get some dialoges asking for the geometry from the 
drive. After entering these you have to define a "backup label" in the 
partition menu. (this is partition entry 2 i think)  Here enter the size (for 
instance 4924c, at least the same figure you enteredn previously) and label 
the drive.

This works for SCSI of course, so you may still be in trouble :-(
