DESCRIPTION


After attaching a new hard drive to an Adaptec 152x controller card, 
FDISK in OS/2 recognizes the drive but does not display any options. No 
partitions can be created.

RESOLUTION


Any SCSI hard drive attached to an Adaptec 152x controller card must 
first have partitions created using the AFDISK utility on the first 
EZ-SCSI Utility Diskette which comes with the controller. 

1. Insert the first EZ-SCSI Utility Diskette into drive A:. 
   Shut down and restart the system.

2. Follow the instructions on screen to run AFDISK to set
   the partitions on the new drive.

You can also run the AFDISK utility on the first EZ-SCSI Utility 
Diskette by restarting the system to MS or PC DOS. From the DOS command 
prompt, change to the A: drive and type SETUP. Press Enter, then follow 
the instructions on screen.

Note: If you have any questions or problems with this utility,
      please contact Adaptec at (408) 934-7274 or visit
      their Internet site at http:\\www.adaptec.com.
