I have some 36GB drives that were pulled from BCC Storage enclosures.They seem to be normal Ultrastar 36z15 drives.

I put them into one of my servers and was able to get them formatted to512 byte sectors once the Force SE jumpers were removed. However, whenI try to use them outside of the controller's utility program, it saysthat they don't respond; and as such, NT doesn't see them.

Does anyone know what jumper(s) need to be set to get them to operate asa "normal" drive?
