    DAT72 and Windows XP 64 bit problem
    « on: October 10, 2013, 06:55:07 AM »
    Hi
     
    I need configuration with XP 64 bit. I have SCSI controller AIC 2100S - works fine, then very old tape drive Archive Python 04106-XXX SCSI - works fine (both under standard drivers from XP 64bit). NTBackup works fine with this tape. But I have problem with my HP DAT72 - this is HP DAT72, on the device manager is ok, drivers were from HP (ver 1.7.1.0 ant other) but NTBackup doesn't see thise tape drive. I have two devices - both cannot works with my XP64. On Win XP 32 bit everythink is ok. Can any one help me? BTW - is this possible to run this tapedrive under Windows 7 23 or 64 bit? With NTBackup (I have a lot of data from old times...)

    I seriously doubt you will find a 64 bit driver for that unit which i suspect is the issue here.

      No, on the HP www is driver for XP 64 bit. It works, LTT can see this device, test is ok but NTBackup doens't see it.

      HP does not list a WinXP 64 bit driver for that model...unless i missed it completely in my search...
