Cannot find tape device in SQL Server

    Hi all,

             I have a MSSQL 2000 Standard Server on Windows 2003 Server OS platform with HP LTO 460 tape drive. Device Manager can detect it but MSSQL cannot detect it. Any idea? The option to add a "Tape Drive Name" is disabled when I am trying to add a new backup device in Enterprise Manager.

    Thanks,

    Del Piero

    Is the tape drive internal or external? If external, was it added after SQL Server was installed? Have you rebooted the server?

    SQLBill .. sorry I don't know why I sent an empty message ... So, the tape drive is external, they installed it after MSSQL was installed, and they did do a reboot after the installation ..... any hints?

    Thanks again!
