Problem What to Do
Unable to write to a
disk
• Check power and connections. See “Drive won’t power on”
discussed previously in this table.
• Does the host computer recognize the drive on the bus? See
“Host system does not recognize the drive” discussed
previously in this table.
• Is there a valid file system on the disk?
• If the disk does not have a valid file system,
you will receive an error message.
• If the disk does not have a valid file system,
you must format the disk (Windows ) or
do a media init (HP-UX). For other Unix
systems, refer to your System Administrator’s
Guide to prepare the disk.
• Is the disk one of the following capacities: 2.6, 4.6, 5.2 or
9.1 Gbytes? This drive writes to only these capacities.
• If in Windows and using 1,024 bytes/sector disks— boot
your system with this density disk in the drive.
