NT Backup

[Mat Ashmore]

Hi,

I'am running Windows 2000 server (SP4) & have a HP C5683A SCSI DDS4 DAT
Drive installed (Driver Version 5.0.2183.1)
I can label up my tapes the correct way with NT Backup but when it comes to
changing tapes the Removable Storage Management detects the wrong ones.
This is a brand new drive on a brand new server so isn't a cleaning issue.

On another note, i have installed Windows 2003 server on the same server
with the same tape drive & the tape detection works fine.

Seems to be a 2000 Server problem.

Any ideas?
