DISCLAIMER  - Do this at your own risk!  It is known by me to work on my

RTFM.  The following procedure should be in the manual you should have
received with the drive.

With the drive, you should have received a disk with the program
faastprep.  Being very careful, run this program, select 'manual' mode,
and select the SCSI ID which is your highest (zero if you only have one
drive).  Turn on the flags which say that this is the last disk, and the
last LUN.  Save it, and next time you reboot, the hardware will read
this flag and know not to bother looking for further disks.  If you ever
get a second disk, these flags will have to be reset, and set for the
new drive, or it won't be found.

Again, it works for me, and should work for you, but I won't be held
responsible for any failures.  As with any hardware reconfiguration,  I
strongly recommend a full system backup before you start.
