Make sure the boot hard disk SCSI ID corre-
sponds to the Boot Target ID setting in SCSISelect 
(see page 8). The SCSI ID is normally set with 
jumpers or switches on the drive.

If this does not solve the problem, back up all data 
on the SCSI hard disk and perform a low-level 
format with the SCSISelect Format Disk

 

option. 

See the MS-DOS documentation for instructions 
on partitioning the disk after formatting.
