Hi, I've got a Compaq U2 storage array connected to a Compaw Smart 2/p controller with an assortment of 4.3GB and 9.1GB disks that I use for testing purposes. Some of the drives have "died" on me, i.e. I get yellow lights when they are plugged into the arrays. Is it possible to do anything low-level to ressurect these drives? e.g. take them out of their caddies, connected them directly to a SCSI controller and low-level format them or something? (There's no data on them - I just want them to work again!) Any suggestions appreciated.
