    So, i`m runnin an old Digital Server 7000 with 5 Hdd`s. Along with a Mylex DAC960PDU raid card.

    I had the system going originally with a 2gb storage limit by accident. Now i have switched it to an 8gb limit(9 gb HDD`s anyway). But now it still won`t read it, i tried to install some firmware updates or bios updates for it but nothing seems to want to install right or make any differences...

    Does anyone have any advice for me in how i can get this going.

    I have 2 of them so right now i`m installing windows 2000 on it to see if i can get it to work with a windows based driver...

    Any ideas..

    Thanks

    disable all except 1, delete the partition, make a new partition & format. do that to all drives to see if reads full capacity. also are you certain they are all 9gig hds as i use to use scsis & never had that problem but than iwas using fat32 not ntfs
