Re: 9337's raided on nt server

AS/400 disks are formatted to 520 bytes per sector. Most PC operating 
systems expect to work with 512 bytes per sector.
You need a SCSI mode-page editor to change blocklength and number of 
sectors, last time I looked there was one at:
http://index.storsys.ibm.com/hddtech/scsi/utility/SCSIMD10.EXE
Enter the new parameters, then format the disk with ASPIFMT and it should be 
ready and working.

Standard disclaimers apply... (your mileage may vary)
