HP C5683A tape detected as SCSI cd
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? Kal |

HP C5683A tape detected as SCSI cd
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.

HP C5683A tape detected as SCSI cd
If the scsi card has no onboard bios, or is disabled, the OS detects the
scsi device connected to the scsi card. Your PC's bios detects the scsi card only, no connected scsi devices. Even if detected by the scsi bios, doesn't mean the OS can utilize the scsi tape drive. In the past, I've had to install 3rd party backup software to detect the scsi tape drive. The software came with drivers for detecting and utilizing the scsi tape drive. Proper termination and sequence of scsi devices by ID connected to the card can also be a factor. -- Jonny "Kal" wrote in message ... A HP C5683A tape was detected as CD on a Windows XP system.

HP C5683A tape detected as SCSI cd
Thanks,
I guess I will have to reboot and make sure it really is misdetected in the bios. Turns out it is detected at the SCSI level as a C305 Tape. So that seems OK. And today it is detected as a tape drive by XP also. How strange. This is not a new installation on this machine. It was backing up successfully for some months. Tape is still not working and HP Tape Tools quit after reporting: "An error occurred while the diagnostic function was started for the selected device. See the Event Log for details (accessible vie the 'File' menu)." I guess it is time to call HP and probably to replace the drive. Kal "Jonny" wrote in message ...
