Hi,

One of our team low level formated a scsi hard disk by mistake, and
the low level format didn't finish the whole process.  An error message
appeared and since then, the scsi card freezes at boot-up, and occasionnaly,
we get a message saying that the disk is connected, but not ready.

The hard drive is a 18Gb LVD Western Digital , and the card is an Adaptec
2940UW.

We called the distributor and the tech support told us we had to send it
back.  Isn't there anything else we can do than just return the hard
drive??  Can a low level format really ruin a SCSI hard drive??????

Thank you for your input!
Andre Chiasson
