- Subject: "Deactivation Due To Drive Failure" Errors
- Date: February 12, 1991
-
- GENERAL
- INFORMATION: Netware 386 v3.1
- File Server PS/2 Model 55SX with Seagate ST-1771 ESDI 60MB
- drive
-
- PROBLEM: The Reference diskette recognizes the controller and adapter
- cards, but when the customer loaded the PS2ESDI driver, he
- received the following error:
-
- Device #0 [0f040] PS2ESDI deactivated due to drive failure
-
- SOLUTION: This particular Seagate drive that IBM ships with some of
- their machines has problems with the current version of the
- ESDI disk driver. There is a patched driver on NetWire
- (55SX60.ZIP in library 16) which should solve the problem.
- Another option is to replace the Seagate drive with an IBM
- drive.
-
- COMMENTS: There have been reports that customers with Model 70
- machines have the same problem with the Seagate ST-1771 60MB
- ESDI drive and the PS2ESDI.DSK driver. Have them try the
- patched driver also.
