AFAIK you don't see tape drives in My Computer. What happens when you run
your backup program? Does it see a tape device for backing up? -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Marek W. Pilat ; Szczecinek" wrote in message ...

It is not normal for Windows 98 to treat a tape device as a removable disk.
If you had this with a previous system you must have had some additional drivers that support this functionality. Tape file systems are not supported natively in Windows 98. Check with HP whether or not they can provide a file system driver. As far as I know this would have to come from the device manufacturer. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Marek W. Pilat ; Szczecinek" wrote in message ... Good morning Jeff ! I havent programs to backuping. I have instaled HP C1533A on Windows'98 a few years ago (1999, 2000?) without problems. Then using my tape device by icon in "My computer" or "Windows Explorer" on right-click menu (Copy, Paste and soon) - normally in Windows'98. Tape device was treated what removable disk. Now, past last instalation my tape device I'm using (only to diagnostic) Windows aplication "HP Storage Works Library $ Tape Tools". After dignostic - all's its OK. --------------- Jeff - whats mean "AFAIK" ? Best regards, Marek W. Pilat "Jeff Richards" pisze: AFAIK you don't see tape drives in My Computer.

Seagate made Drive Tape Access (DTA) which provided drive letter
functionality so you can use your tape more like a hard drive. It's novel, but extremely slow at times, because tape access is sequential. You may view a file in explorer and double-click it only to hear your tape drive whirring for 3-5 minutes before it even finds the file! "Marek W. Pilat ; Szczecinek" wrote in message ...
