Subject: Re: Nicolet 660
Today we tried a bit more work on the Nicolet in the hopes of seeing
what is wrong with the hard drive. Having opened it up, the hard drive
is labeled as a Priam 803-21 8" SMD drive. We ran the disk checking
utility, SMDBUSTER, but got a SMD timeout when we tried to select the
drive (see http://csplan9.rit.edu/users/john/nicolet/IMG_1633.jpg).
The hard drive does spin up; we can feel it spinning by touching the
enclosure. The bootup screen seems to indicate that at least some
models supported booting from a Winchester drive, but since this unit
never had a Winchester installed it may lack the hardware to handle
it.
Hi
Have you looked to see if there was a head lock?
