Hello there,

I have bought a Symbios 53C875 SCSI-adapter and a Quantum Viking II
harddrive. Now I want to use this SCSI-drive as my boot-drive with windows.

I can select in my system-bios (Award) the drive to start from (C/A/SCSI),
so that must not be the problem. I managed to make my SCSI drive bootable
with FDISK.

DOS doesn't see my adapter (and drives). I have put some files on the win98
startup disk. I downloaded these files from the LSIlogic homepage
(DOS-drivers). These files are :

symc8xx.sys and aspidisk.sys. I put some lines in config.sys
(Device=symc8xx.sys and Device=aspidisk.sys). Now DOS must see my adapter...
but DOS doesn't see it, while FDISK in DOS does. I find this strange.

If I only knew how to let DOS see my SCSI drive, I could put Windows on it.

My Windows 98 system says that I can't put an older windows (95 rel. 25) on
my system, so I must do this in DOS.

I hope someone can help me with this.


Regards,

Rick Vermeer
