Moving DAT 12/24 to XP workstation
I am moving a SureStore DAT24 internal drive from our old Novell server into a Dell XP Pro workstation (where we are sharing its disk with three older workstations in the office using NETBEUI). I want to set this up for basic backup of the workstation's disk, probably with UltraBac. Because the Compaq server had a built-in SCSI adapater, I have used an existing AdvanSys PCI controller from another machine. The problem a two-part one:
1) XP does not seem to detect the tape drive:
The SCSI card was detected and the Device Manager reports it is working properly. When the workstation boots, I get a boot screen from the SCSI card that lists the HP tape drive in one of the SCSI slots. The tape drive does have power, and I've double-checked the SCSI cable and its terminator.
2) I assume that XP will have the driver for the SureStore, however I also tried to find the driver on the HP web site and the search only turns up a toolkit for testing drives and tapes, but no reference to a driver. Any guidance about this would be appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Moving DAT 12/24 to XP workstation
Jim,
1. this DAT drive is single ended. Please make sure your card is SE and not an HVD, see http://www.hp.com/cposupport/information_storage/support_doc/lpg50063.html . If your adapter is really SE or LVD then check its bios settings for tape support or force it to work in SE mode (for example);
2. yes, drivers should already be in the OS. I've found drivers for 2000 and NT4 only. No XP drivers

>not an HVD...SE or LVD<
Thanks for that information. I'm not sure what the HVD and LVD acronyms refer to, though, so I'm going to have to plead ignorance and ask for a little more of the basics. I don't know if this indicates anything, but I used the same cable that was used on the SCSI card (originally connected to a Jaz drive), which was short and had a single intermediate connector followed by a connector at the end with a terminator on it. I can't look at the card setup immediately because I've returned to my home office, but anything that would better prepare me for the next visit will be helpful. Thanks!

Re: Moving DAT 12/24 to XP workstation
LVD = low voltage differential
HVD = high voltage differential
SE = single ended
LVD is backward compatible with SE, but HVD is not compatible with both, see http://www.paralan.com/scsiexpert.html
If you would ask which card is installed (its model) then I will check if it's HVD or not
