make sure termination is on...

it is.....i did everything that i was told in the other scsi drive thread...

yea im having that problem too im wondering if its my O.S version

yea....i donno why...but i got an system boot up disc on a zip disc....

I was ganna say cause i figuered out what to do with mine. I turned on my 2000 without the operating disk and it reads the SCSI drive. It does that little count and stops at what ever number mine was 5 i dunno about yours. After that i just put the boot up disk in and when it loaded i went to disk screen and changed the device to scsi # 5 it said not ready so i popped out the disk and changed the device again. After that i put the disk back in and went to device #5 and it worked.

yea....i think im gonna try that..;
thanks seen goodlooksone1

the start up disc in the zipdrive or the floppy?
--------------------------------------------------------
my mpc picked up there was a zipdrive and it was 5 too.....
it started up but stil says its not ready....

thanks for all the help anyways seen

try this. After loading up the 2000 pop the disk out, then go to disk screen. Then pop the disk in wait like a few seconds and switch to the device and try 5 then
