Adaptec 29160n scsi controller with drives
I have just installed Vista Ultimate and it works great, but my SCSI disks does not show up in Vista. They do show when booting the SCSI bios, and I have tried 3 different disks, and none of them show up when Vista have booted up.

The driver for the Adaptec 29160N scsi controller card was installed by Vista, and it reports no problem under Device Manager.

Anybody else experienced the same problem? If so, please share.

Do you mean you can't see them in the drives section when you click 'My computer'? What motherboard are you using? Perhaps you need to configure the boot order or disk priority in the bios?

Re: Adaptec 29160n scsi controller with drives
did you go into admin tools, storage and mount the volumes??
i just last week installed scsi in 2 computers, loaded vista on both, and both disks in each computer show in my computer.
but in some cases , the above action must be taken. hope it helps!

No, I can't seem them in my computer. I am using the new Abit Quad X38.

They don't show up there either. I can't mount what I can't find.

When booting the computer and going into the bios on the scsi card I find both disks, and they also show up in the boot sequence, so everything seems to be in order.

I am really struggling with this one, and I have two 15.000 rpm cheetah disks that I really would like to use.

Re: Adaptec 29160n scsi controller with drives
did you use 68 pin cables? or what?? with terminator??
i couldn't even get my 2 15,000 to show at the adaptec card detection, til i used 68 pin cables /terminators.
both show up fine everywhere now.
i've used scsi since 1995.
my first disk was a 200 meg, 1800 rpm. took 6 mins to open a program.
sx33 with 4 meg of ram.

Both of my 15.000 rpm disks show up at the Adaptec card detection, but not in Vista.
