I have just aquired from a friend a scsi 1gig drive... I added it to my existing scsi chain, and booted back up. In the boot sequence, there is no problem detecting the new drive, I want to use it for a regular fs partition. I have tried a couple times now to partition the drive and label it, but everytime I do it, I get signal 11 errors, and it is really fighting me. I guess the basic question is... what is the suggested method for adding a drive to a preexisting machine and install without doing MAJOR work... thanks for anyones responses Guy
