Booting from SCSI HDD

I have a Mylex BT958 controller and a Cheetah HDD which has had a low level format. I can reboot this system with a DOS boot that has aspi management devices loaded in config.sys, and can fdisk using only BTFDISK to make a 60Gb partition - I can even format the drive c:/s - but when I reboot from the HDD it does not detect the HDD and wants a bootable disk put in! Where am I going wrong?

Hi Shayne,
Dos does not support more than 2gigs. You will have to partion the hard drive.
Good luck.
Gopal
