Dear Managers;

We have an Alpha Station 250 w/ Digital Unix 3.2D. It supports "narrow" Digital hard disks. We recently bought a generic Seagate Baracuda ST39173N disk ( narrow, 9.1 Gb), therefor it has no embedded Digital firmware. We did not buy one from our Digital distributor due to our tight budget.

Can anyone give us a step by step procedure on how to configure our present system to recognize the additional disk ?.

Also would it be possible to remove our old disk and reinstall the system using the generic  Seagate disk disk?

We appreciate any help you can give us.

Thank you very much.

Benedict, Sikat
