No. He and most other people have been trying to convince me that it's defective hardware, and not a deficiency of the operating system. But defective hardware is hardware that fails to do its job, and these drives have done their jobs under Windows NT for eight years. In this case, the OS is defective, because it's not doing its job. I know the job can be done because Windows NT does it. > Anthony - have you ever setup a new HP/Compaq server? Ever use the > SmartStart CD's? I don't remember if I ever did it myself.
