SYMPTOMS
When you run Windows NT Setup on your PC-compatible computer with a Conner CFP1060S SCSI hard disk installed, the installation of Windows NT fails. If Setup does not fail, you experience data corruption during normal usage.



CAUSE
The version of your Conner CFP1060S is designed for non PC-compatible computers, and therefore does not work properly in your PC-compatible computer.

There are two versions of the Conner CFP1060S SCSI hard disk: PC-compatible and non PC-compatible. To verify that you have the non PC-compatible hard drive model, check the hard disk interface connector:


 * The non PC-compatible model has an 80-pin connector with an additional adapter that converts the 80-pin connector to 50 pins. In addition, this drive has the labeling "Conner CFP1060S w/SCA 80pin-50pin adapter."
 * The PC-compatible model has a standard 50-pin SCSI connector.



RESOLUTION
To resolve the problem if you have the non PC-compatible model, replace it with a PC-compatible drive.

According to Conner Technical Support the Conner CFP1060S drive has been discontinued in the 50-pin PC-compatible format.
