4.5 BIOS Startup Messages After you have configured your SCSI controller, the SCSI controller BIOS displays a message when you boot your computer. Normally, this message lists the SCSI ID, manufacturer, model number and other information for each SCSI device that the BIOS detects. If an initialization failure occurs, however, the SCSI controller BIOS displays a specific error message followed by a BIOS Installation Failure message. Here are some of these error messages and their meaning: WARNING!!! A drive larger than 1 gigabyte has been detected with 64 head / 32 sector partitioning. This drive is not compatible with the 255 head / 63 sector translation which has been enabled on this adapter. Data could be corrupted! Please check your system setup! Press any key to continue. This message occurs only if Extended BIOS Translation is enabled in the SCSISelect utility. It means that the BIOS detected a large capacity drive with invalid partition information in the master boot record. If you are using a drive larger than 1 GByte under MS-DOS 5.0 or above and this message appears, do the following: 1. Run the SCSISelect utility and set Extended BIOS Translation to Disabled. (See Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte in the Advanced Configuration Options section). 2. Exit from the SCSISelect utility and back up the data on the disk drive, if you want to save it. Chapter 4 - SCSISelect Configuration Utility 4-23
