> I haven't followed this thread from it's beginning, but if the scsi
adapter recognizes the hd at boot, and opendos doesn't, (drive not found or
similar error) then you need to run fdisk.  Put a partition on the disk,
then rebooyt, format it, and you're in business.<
There is a FAT partition on the hard disk! It is (by now) the third
partition on the HDD, the first and second are NFTS formatted, the fourth is
NTFS, too.

Are you saying that DOS will only recognize a FAT partition if it is the
first on the hard disk?
