The drive seemed to click a few times while I was at the business and at first, was not recognized, then it was. The owner also said that the machine seemed to faster on some days. I have everything hooked up to a temporary (faster) machine, but now I can't get the MB to boot my cd first. This is minor though.
As far as termination, The server has been running without major problems in its current config for years. I have only had to save the SCSI drive once, but strangely, I see no terminator on the cable at all. The devices normally connected are 1) SCSI drive (OS), 2) removable backup SCSI drive, 3) SCSI CDROM I have not looked, but can this auto terminate?
Acronis did recognize two other SCSI drives I was playing with, but neither has an OS to copy over and one of the drives is the spare backup HDD they keep just in case the main OS drive and it is bad now. Yikes, they should have migrated many months ago.
Wayne, I am all too familiar with killing HDD's myself, but they do have a backup of the important data, they would lose only one days work.
After all this is done and they are on the new system, I may see if I can keep their old server and frame it. It's a real piece of history
, too bad it smells like hydraulic fluid. <- And now my house is starting to smell too.
Thanks for the ideas so far. Looks like it is time to walk to the store and get some beer. This may be a long night. I also have another drive I need to recover as well.
