I have a NT 4 SP3 server running a Quantum Big Foot IDE HD which I'm
pulling out on Sunday morning to replace with one of these lovely new
Seagate Ultra 2 Wide SCSI drives hanging off an Adaptec 2940U2W PCI
controller.
When I went to install the SCSI drive in an empty PC, NT's setup does not
support the controller, and a driver must be added during set up, or a STOP
error "BOOT_DEVICE_NOT_ACCESSIBLE" occurs.
Once I've installed the new disk, I'll be restoring a tape backup with
registry to go back online.
My question is how am I going to go rebooting after restoring my OLD NT
setup, which *doesn't* have the driver installed? Do you think it will work
if I:
1. Install the 2940U2W driver in my current setup,
2. Without rebooting, backup,
3. Remove the IDE drive and install teh SCSI drive
4. Restore the backup
5. Reboot
I think this may very well work, but I'm not sure. As a sideline, this
seems like a bloody fast drive.
