Thanks for your help. To get aic0 up and running do I need to hand configure something? Thanks for the tip about firmware, I will install the upgrade. The raid controller is on channel A and the the scsi tape drive is on channel B. The cdrom is ide. You are correct, the error is "no drives were found for the install." You seem to have some experience with this problem. Any other suggestions you have would be appreciated. I am not sure if my statement "I am really a web/database developer trying to set up a system" conveys my skill level. Let me put it this way, if this were a star trek episode I would be the one saying "dammit, Jim, I am a database programmer not a systems administrator!" 72yan M wrote: > > Hello, > > The Adaptec 7895 should be aic0.
