Hello.

Have you been able to resolve this problem?

This may not be a reliable solution. Time will tell...

I had a new 1TB RDX cartridge that failed to initialize (when it was inserted and I had responded 'yes' I want the drive to be used by RDX).

So next time I was asked if it was to be used for RDX I responded No. In Windows Explorer I then deleted all files off the RDX drive (start.exe and autorun.ini).

I then copied a random file to the drive and then removed that file. Just to force it to write some data.

I then ejected the empty drive and reinserted it.

This time when I responded 'yes', when asked if I want to use the drive for RDX, the drive intitialized and RDX started to copy files to it as normal.
