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.
