ASSIGN applies to Volume and the disk in quesiton is not seen on the list of
volumes.... what do I do now? dowloand iSCSI? I will explore that.
Thank you for responding so quickly. I am flabergasted as to why this
happened. I've had it for a while and had no problems with the drive. By
the way I have an Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N - Ultra160 SCSI for a Fujitsu
MAJ336 SCSI Disk Device.

Let me know if you think of something else I can do.
