SCSI Drive not detected

I re-formatted a SCSI drive with SCSI Select but after rebooting the SCSI adapter does not recognize the drive. How can detect the drive?

Reinitialization is a wiping of the disk. I am assuming this is what you did.
I take it when you boot up and the scsi bios lists the devices its not listing the drive just inited? Go back into the bios and do you see the drive listed? If not you have a hardware issue. Check cable/power/termination and what scsi id it is configured for.
If the scsi bios sees the disk but the OS doesn't that's a different story. Post back as to what you have.
