I have just installed an Exabyte Mammoth 2 tape drive.
Plug and Play hardware list found it and I installed latest driver. List of devices says it is installed and functioning correctly, but I can't figure out how to see the file system? No additional drives are listed in file manager? How do you see files on new SCSI file systems. |

Tape drives do not contain browsable file systems. If your Mammoth tape
drive is appearing under the "Tape Drives" heading of device manager (as it should be), then only backup software such as NTBackup, BackupExec, ArcServe, etc can use the drive. It will not be visible in Windows Explorer. If a new device appears in the "Disk Drives" section of device manager, then it should be visible in Disk Manager (Right-click My Computer, Manage, Disk Management) and you will be able to create a partition and format it with your choice of NFTS or FAT32 file systems. If you have software installed that allows the tape drive to be used like a disk drive and it is not working proplerly, please contact to software vendor for assistance. -------------------- | I have just installed an Exabyte Mammoth 2 tape drive. | Plug and Play hardware list found it and I installed | latest driver.
