Usually the boot drive should be SCSI ID-3. However that shouldn't affect
what it says about the available space. Maybe you'd like to try booting in
single-user mode from the CD-ROM, then running the 'format' command to see
what it can tell you about the drive when it's running on it's own.

Check the SCSI ID for sure. I'm not sure what else to look at. I've done
more disk installs into Classics, LX's, IPX's, etc to count, and I can't
recall ever having a new disk show up as having zero capacity available...

Regards,

Craig.
