I don't know if termination is built in for the first drive on the chain or if you have to terminate the drive yourself, but it needs to be terminated.I would first set the SCSI ID to 0 and terminate the drive. Then boot from the install cd and see if you can then use Drive Setup. If your able to see the drive (and you don't need the data) then format it and install the OS.Here are the specs to your computer…<a href="http://www.welovemacs.com/machinespecs-umax-supermac-j700.html" target="_blank">http://www.welovemacs.com/machinespecs-umax-supermac-j700.html</a>It shows the hard drive bus type as SCSI-2 (don't know if that makes any difference for the drive that you are trying to use)Good luck!</blockquote>
