AT&T Unix-PC Hard Disk error **HELP**

[John P. Rouillard]

We are trying to get 5 or 6 unix pc's working.  When we use the 3.51
s4tools, some of the mchines refuse to boot off of it.

They all boot off of the diagnostics disk that was supplied
with the 3.5 distribution, however.

After it boots with the diagnostics disk, selecting [initialize hard disk]
results in a:

          winchester:error during disk format:response = 4.

Does anybody know if this is caused by 1) a bad disk 2) a bad
controller 3) a bad contact 4) anything else.

Any help anyone could give us in getting these machines working would
be appreciated.

We can do hardware hacking ant troubleshooting, so if someone could
tell us what was bad, that would also be useful.

P.S. This may be a repost, sorry about that, but our outgoing news has
	had problems lately.
