My m/c has an Adaptec AHA2940 UW PRO SCSI storage adapter and an Atapi CD ROM and 3 SCSI Seagate Hard Disc drives. During installation of Netware 5.1, I get the following messages: Matching drivers to devices --------------------------- Platform support Module: mps14 Hotplug support module: (optional) storage adapters: IDEATA,AHA2940 Loading Driver --------------- Matching Drivers to Hardware devices -------- Driver Names storage devices: IDECD When I press Enter to Continue, I get the following message: "No storage device was detected in the system. Load the appropriate driver (HAM). Presss to continue." Do i have to search for an alternate storage adapter driver or Storage device driver. I assume that since my storage devices are not getting detected, it might be a problem with the storage device driver. I tried using alternate drivers provided by netware 5.1 but did not work. I then tried searching for drivers on Seagate web site but to no avail. Can you guys help me in this matter ?

Are your SCSI devices terminated right, with no conflicts on device #'s? And what HAM drivers are you using for the SCSI devices?

Hi Underdog, The SCSI devices are terminated rite with no conflicts on devices. During m/c startup, the BIOS is able to correctly detect these hard disks. The Installation automatically detects the following HAM drivers IDEATA.HAM - generic ata/ide/atapi adapter AHA2940.HAM - Adaptec AHA-2940 or AHA-2940W My m/c has an Adaptec AHA2940 UW PRO SCSI storage adapter and an Atapi CD ROM and 3 SCSI Seagate Hard Disc drives. So, I guess the Installation detects the storage adapters right but not the storage devices. This is my first installation of netware 5.1 and I am clueless as to what next to do ? Do I have to use another storage adapter ? please guide me.... shridhar
