Since Disk Administrator is the NT/2K/XP GUI tool to partition and
format drives, this is probably not the problem. (It occurs to me,
though, that SCSI drives sometimes need a "low-level" format --
through sftware on the SCSI controller ROM -- when first connected to
a new controller....)
What controllers are present? I have an NT box on which NT, once
booted, disagrees with the bootloader component about what controller
is "SCSI Controller #1", and so the drive letters took some doing to
get in the order I wanted them.
