Hi I have a Seagate Cheetah 15k SCSI drive with LSI Logic Controller. It won't boot up. I have installed the drive in a windows XP PC and I can see the drive in Disk manager but it shows unallocated disk space. So that means that the partition is missing or corrupt. The drive was running Win Server 2003. I would like to repair the partition.

Unallocated disk space means that the file system is corrupted. You could try to access the data using a Linux Live-CD - they access the data directly and are much more tolerant of NTFS file system errors.
You could also try this http://findandmount.com/ It has allowed me to access data that even some Linux distro's deemed irrecoverable. But beware, this is a program with problems - you can format the partition by accident very easily; be careful at what you do, don't click on something unless you are absolutely sure.
Either way once you have access copy the files immediately.

Driver windows xp

browse over to http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/enterprise-hard-drives/hdd/cheetah-15k/ and select the options on the right hand side that match your drive. That will give you the model number.

Then go to https://apps1.seagate.com/downloads/request.html and fill in the model and serial numbers to get the right software drivers.

Trying to find the jumper settings for a Seagate 36G 80PINS SCSI 15K RPM HDD Hard Drive with an apparent part number 8E036JO (all my Google searches say it's a Maxtor), but the one I have is Seagate....

SCSI hard drives and devices have a jumper setting to configure the SCSI ID.
Each SCSI device must have a different ID.
The jumper/s are set for the following positions across 3 pairs of pins
: : : = SCSI ID = 0 no jumpers - usually for the boot hard drive
: : I = SCSI ID = 1
: I : = SCSI ID = 2
: I I = SCSI ID = 3
I : : = SCSI ID = 4
I : I = SCSI ID = 5
I I : = SCSI ID = 6
I I I = SCSI ID = 7
This gives a total of 8 possible SCSI devices on one SCSI controller.
