Reply: (edit)Sounds like the disk is dead. Get a new drive set up, then try to access the old as a slave, maybe in DOS. I'm sure others may have suggestions, but I know of no other affordable options. Cheers

Reply: (edit)I agree.. Sounds like a dead drive... I hope you back everything up on your SCSI drive. Before giving up hope, recheck all of your cables to make one didn't come loose, especially if your case is open. My case is usually open, and my cat has unplugged stuff before. hehe Does it power on/spin up when you start the system? How old is the drive? If not too old, maybe try contacting the manufacturer.

Reply: (edit)If you here it spin up when you press that power button I would make a boot disk with Fdisk on and see if it will recognise the hard drive just to make sure.
