Need help with Tape Drive Driver

[Bishop]

The system I have came with a Tape Drive on a Adaptec 19160 SCSI pci card.  Windows sees the card but not the Tape Drive. There is not a name on the tape drive only the DDS-3 on the front panel.

Any Ideas on how tget the system to see the Tape Drive?

Thanks

You might use Belarc Advisor or Everest Home to get a report on your system.  They might identify your tape drive and give you some info to help find a driver.

You'll need to find out who made the tape to get the right driver.  HP, IBM and Sony all made tape drives of that format.  Any way you can shut down the computer and pull the drive to look ?

Also, do you want Windows to your backups or were you planning to use Veritas/Arcserve ?
