5809.0. "Driver for tape device ??" by ADCA01::KISHORI () Mon Mar 17 1997 21:51

    Hi,

    I have installed Windows NT 4.0 on Digital Venturis which has a 4mm dat
    drive (Sony SDT 5000). When I select the tape device icon in control
    panel, I notice that the tape device is being recognised, but it says
    driver not loaded. I tried adding the standard tape driver using the NT
    CD-ROM, but I get a 'Specified location does not contain the relevant
    h/w info'. I did specify the location as I386.

    Have I missed out something ? Can I download this ? If so from which
    location ? Any pointers would be helpful, since I need to take tape
    backup immediately.

    Thanks
    Kishori

    That's odd.  I just went through the same procedure on a Venturis FX
    and SONY SDT5000 yesterday.  The driver automatically picked was the
    4mmdat.sys driver.  You should already have everything you need.

    Oops ! I had forgotten to log in as an administrator. After I logged
    in a as an administrator I was able to install the driver from the CD.
    Foolish of me...
