Operating the Disk Drive Troubleshooting 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.
