Win'00 Server wont recognize SCSIadapter

First, check to make sure that the adapter hardware is working properly. Most adapters have some sort of messaging that comes up during the POST process on the computer to indicate that the adapter BIOS is loaded. If the adapter is not recognized here, then you need to look into what is wrong with the hardware - either the adapter is faulty, something is not configured properly, or maybe the MB slot it's in isn't working properly. Another possibility is that the BIOS of the server is not configured properly to boot from a SCSI controller - some BIOSes have settings that can interfere with the loading of the SCSI BIOS from a controller card. If all that checks out and you can see the SCSI card at bootup, then make sure that the adapter can detect the hard drives connected to it - again you should see this during the POST procedure. If not, it's probably a SCSI ID conflict - make sure the drives are properly configured with SCSI ID 0 and 1 and that the termination on the SCSI bus isproperly configured. Once that's all out of the way, the most likely thing is that the SCSI card is one that is not natively recognized by Win2K - if this is the case, you need to have Win2K compatible drivers for the card from the card manufacturer. Then, you need to press F6 at the appropriate time during the OS install to add the 3rd party drivers, put in the floppy with the drivers on it and follow whatever other instructions during the install to load those drivers. Hope this helps!
