If it's a scsi drive then the problem might be in addresses for the drives.
The SCSI bus can have 8 devices on it...usally one being the controller so
most people just say seven devices. Each device must have an address from 0
to 7 and 0 is usally the controller device but not always. Check the
documentation and ensure the addressing is correct. Also, SCSI devices in a
chain must be terminated at the end. The last device on the chain must be
terminated. This is sometimes a switch or little jumper or resistor pack on
a drive. Make sure only the last one is terminated.
