I havent added drives to a compaq server that didnt have an array controller
in probably 7 years.

I would suggest picking up a cheap controller on eBay. Oh, you didnt mention
which version of the 800 you have. HP veriosn, NonHP verision.. PPro 200
verision, PII350 version...

I have a Compaq Proliant 88 with a single SCSI drive, running Novell
4.1.1
and the drive is out of free space. I purchased a new Maxtor 18 gig SCSI
and
put it in the computer. The BIOS recognizes the drive when it is booting
up,
and the Compaq utility correctly sees the drive, but after that, the
drive
is reported as a 9 gig drive to everything (fdisk, partition magic,
server
magic, ghost, DOS 6.2 and 7), not the 181 gig drive that it is. I called
Compaq, but India, I mean Tech Support told me they could not help me as
the
drive was a third party drive. I bought 2 of these drives from CDW. They
sold these to me as replacement drives for a Compaq Proliant. I have had
these drives for 3 weeks now, and have not been able to resolve this
issue.
Anyone have a similar issue, or can provide me some direction?
Thanks!
