SCSI drive utilities - anybody got any?
How do 
Got a SCSI drive (Seagate Barracuda - OLD one!!
) that needs some convincing to spin up properly - could be that the bearings have started to sieze.
Anybody got some utilities that can perform such a task? PC ideally
Thanks

Hiya Scooby DO,
Have you tried Seagate's website? I was on there the other day looking for tools for one of my drive (albeit not as old as yours). 2 hours and aone low level format later and jobs a good un!

Trying now
Was just wondering if anybody had one of those "get you out of the ****" utility disks..
My drive keeps clicking as though it's trying to do something - hoping it will be the bearings due to inactivity.....
Just need it operational long enough to transfer about 4Gigs of sample data onto Zip Drive!!
Thanks though

I take it you're SCSI Host controller BIOS has the means to help out there? I remember the old Adaptec 2940 Host adapters has some useful stuff on the BIOS for powering up Hard Drives.

Update - the drive is viewable in disk management (XP) and in SCSI probe (Mac OS9!), unmountable.
Due to it being in a type of MSDOS format (Kurzweil K2000 synthesiser/sampler), I've put it into various SCSI chains (thought it might be the synth SCSI controller).
Pressed "Load" on the keyboard, and whilst the drive spins up, I then get a lovely "chug-chug" sound - fubar'd me thinks
BUgger. Was hoping this wouldn't beat me!!
