I have two ST15150N 4.3GB SCSI HDD. Both were bought refurbed and came with Flexstar test sheets showing the drives passed all tests. The SCSI controller card finds the HDDs but IDs as SX15150N which Seagates says is an OEM mod. SCSI ID and termination are correct. When I try to verify the drives the card reports “Drive Not Ready”. Attempt a low level format and drives show 0MB and reports error “00h 02h 04h”. Device Manager in Win98 indicates both drives functioning normally but no drive letter assigned. FDISK cannot locate the drives so no option 5 is available. The drives showed up in Control Panel when I showed them as “removeable” and assigned a drive letter. Removed the “removeable” designation and drive letter stayed and drive properties showed a “local disk” with a FAT file structure and 0MB available. I have tried the drives individually, dasiy-chained, and on a RAID card. All results are the same. Am now using two other ST15150N is a RAID system w/o problems. Any ideas?
