Are her fingers okay?

Yeah, just 3rd degree burns
She'll be alright

is it SATA? if yes then you need to load some SATA drivers from a floppy.

She's a chink of course she is

SCSI 80pin

Make sure your SCA adapter is properly configured.

Don't forget to forward your ports

Explain plox first time using scsi

>Explain plox first time using scsi
The SCA adapter is the PCB that attaches between the drive and the 68pin SCSI cable.
It contains the SCSI ID settings and termination jumper.

Oh ok makes sense how would i configure through BIOS? What do I change?

What year is this?

>how would i configure through BIOS
The scsi card has its own BIOS
But you have to configure the SCSI ID of the drive on the SCA adaapter itself.
If you have 1 drive, just set the SCSI ID to 1 (jumper pin 1 only) and terminate (jumper termination pin)
It's been a while but I think most SCSI cards default to SCSI ID 0 or 7 by default.
You enter the SCSI BIOS when it prompts you during bootup.

what scsi card do you have?

>scsi bioz
Fuck its saying not installed on boot up
Also idk for the card I have an IBM Xseries232 server

ok you're on your own at this point.
its probably not detecting the drive so the scsi bios isnt loading. or its a raid contoller and you need to setup the raid group.

and it probably has a drive backplane instead of a SCA adapter. so the id and termination is probably hardwired into the chassis.

You need to shift the partition table around. Take a strong magnet and rotate the platters manually into position. The reason you need a magnet is you will disturb the data on the disc by touching them with your fingers. You need a strong magnet to move them without physical contact.

Once you have moved the partitions into alignment, plug the drive in and you should see all your data.
