Is it actually configured into the BIOS and is configured to run in the
BIOS.If so,
unplug computer,remove the battery,locate the boards CMOS jumper pin and
move from 1-2 to 2-3 position for .30 to .45 seconds,then back to
1-2,reinstall
battery,start computer.You'll have to reset the BIOS date/time,etc,plus
adjust
for any add-in cards.

A HP C5683A tape was detected as CD on a Windows XP system. At this point
it is disabled. I believe it actually happens at the POST level.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled it and rebooted numerous times. I moved
the SCSI card to a different slot. Other ideas?

What makes xp (or the bios) detect something as the wrong device?
