Re: AIC-7899 controller

Well,

I first tried the one I found on Acer's Website and then AIC one and got the
same result. I'll check again on Acer's Website and see if there is any
other drivers available.

Thanks

Steve

It sounds like you are using the wrong drivers. Was the SCSI controller
supplied by Acer?

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.
