I see to be having a problem with the SCSI disk that I'm trying to install. The computer that it is attached to was Win XP and SCSI worked fine. When we changed the computer over to Fedora 10, SCSI was being read by the computer but is not accessible. does anyone know how to fix this?

what kind of controller is it. ? lspci
does the system see the drive ? fdisk -l
is the drive already partitioned and formatted ? NTFS maybe ?

Is there an entry in /dev for the scsi disk and its partition(s)?

I don't see anything in the /dev folder for the SCSI Disk

Check the output of the lsmod and dmesg commands. Are the SCSI controllers being recognized and the module aic7xxx loading?

How is the drive physically connected to the computer i.e. removable bay etc.
