SCSI disk software

[Robert Dege]

It doesn't really matter what type of disks you have.  Whether it's IDE,
SCSI, Firewire, or USB, so long as the linux kernel successfully
identifies the disk you can partition it.

Here is what I would do:

*) Use a linux boot disk that successfully identifies your scsi disks.
(Tom's root, knoppix, Redhat install CD, etc.)

*) Run fdisk.  Partition the disks as your like, & label the partitions
accordingly (vfat for the Windows partitions, linux & linux swap for
linux, etc)

*) Finally reboot & run your installers.  Just point to the correct
partitions that you want the OS installed on, and let the installation
format the partitions as part of the install process (unless it's a
Win3.x/95/98/Me system).

I know that the installation with Linux will be a lot less painful since it has disk druid. But can anyone suggest what self booting floppy disk configuration software to use for SCSI drives? (freeware) or shareware. Oh the drives are from Seagate.
