SCSI + Win98 ?
Greetings,
I have an Abit BX133 with PIII 1Ghz. I have a Adaptec SCSI 29160 controller in this machine. I have 2 Seagate 18 GB drives attached. There are NO ide hard drives attached to this system. How do I install Win98SE on this machine, if it only has 2 SCSI drives ? (CDROM is IDE attached to primary IDE port). I have tried to install it, but Win98SE can't access the drives. thanks, Darryl |

The only thing I can think of is the WIN98 installation probably hasn't got the drivers for the 29160 card. I am running XP so I'm not sure if the installation is quite the same, but in XP at least, during the initial sequence Windows asks if you are installing any third party controllers. Are you getting the Adaptec start up during the POST sequence? Another thing I have found in the past is to ensure all the SCSI are securely and firmly in place.

Yep. Adaptec BIOS installs and recognizes the drives just fine.
Win98 is different than XP (or 2000 for that matter), in that it doesn't ask for third party drivers when installing. The only thing I can think of is to make a new Win98SE install disk with the appropriate Adaptec scsi driver and autoexec.bat file. I have installed XP on this config and it works fine, but have reasons to want Win98. thanks, Darryl "Jim Stevenson" wrote in message ... In article , darryl@osborne- ind.com says...

How large are the drives? if they are larger than 64GB, you will have to
partition with a new version of fdisk from Microsoft first, as the old one can't handle drives that large. Did you try to partion the drive first, then format it, then install 98?

" How large are the drives? if they are larger than 64GB, you will have to partition with a new version of fdisk from Microsoft first, as the old one can't handle drives that large. Did you try to partion the drive first, then format it, then install 98? The Drives are 18GB a piece. Currently they have partitions on them. When I boot off the Win98SE cd, then choose command prompt with CDROM support. Then launch fdisk Large disk support [Y] Y Then it gives a disk error. (I'm at work and don't have the exact error). These disks are fine because I have installed XP on them and was using it prior to this rip down. Yep. Adaptec BIOS installs and recognizes the drives just fine.

Jim -- ------------------------ Seti@home team - SetiUK The Official UK Team ------------------------ Found this on the Adaptec Website which may help: That link hasn't come out right by the looks of it so here's what it says: Question I have a U160 boards and when I try to boot from the Windows 98 Startup disk, it hangs on the ASPI8U2.SYS driver. This information applies to the following product(s). Adaptec SCSI Card 19160, 29160N, 29160, 39160 This information applies to the following Operating System(s). Windows 98 (Win 98) Answer The default driver that comes with Windows 98 needs to be updated for support of the U160 products. This can be done using the driver installation floppy that came with your Ultra 160 product. If you have lost your Ultra 160 driver diskette, then it can be download from the Adaptec web site. The latest Ultra 160 FMS (Family Manager Set) from the Adaptec Support web page at: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/sup...portindex.html and selecting the specific Adaptec product you have.

Solution:
Downloaded the U160 drivers (for 29160) from the Adaptec site (for Win98). This download included the DOS drivers for the U160 family. Took the Win98SE boot/install floppy and copied the new downloaded DOS drivers onto the Win98SE boot/install floppy (they replace the same named files on the floppy). Booted the system with the Win98SE boot/install floppy. Chose start computer with CDROM support. Fdisk now works. I went in and deleted partitions and create the partition layout I wanted. Formatted the new parititions. Once complete, started setup from Win98SE cdrom. All worked wonderfully. thanks for all the help. -Darryl In article , darryl@osborne- ind.com says...
