Re: AIC-7899 controller

Thanks John for replying.

Though your're right on the F6 process and it works up to that point. On the
2000 setup screen, the process keeps saying that it doesn't find any Hard
Disk??? SCO Unix Open Server 5 was previously installed and I haven't
changed any boot up config. Unless I have the wrong drivers but I did
download AIC-7899 for Win2k....

Thanks again. It's appreciated

At the beginning of the installation process you have to press F6 when
prompted and supply the controller drivers on a floppy diskette. Pay
close attention to the messages at the bottom of the screen when the setup
begins and you will see a prompt instructing you to press F6 to install
RAID/SCSI drivers.

Hi,

I want to install win2k server on a ACER altos G610 with AIC-7899 SCSI
controller but the win2k installation process doesn't see it and then
can't detect HD. How can I make Win2k setup to see hard drives?

Thanks in advance.
