I am trying to add a DLT Tape drive which I am doing thru Tape Devices in Control Panel. It detects the tape drive, but it will not allow me to add the drivers for the tape drive. When I press ADD I thought it should ask for the location of the drivers. But this is not happening.

If nt detects the tape drive it notifies you of or closest tape drive,thereafter you dont have to ADD,because it has found the tape.This time just press OK & if the drivers are generic it will ask you for the cd-rom or point of you i386 installationfiles.If it does not have the drivers then you point to the oem.Hope it helps

chukie,
First run "Start" - "Settings" - "Control Pannel" - "Tape Devices", there use "Devices" -> "Detect", else "Drives" ->"Add", it will ask for "i386 & DLT Drives, put the from the DLT CD that you must have got a CD with DLT box
Else try running setup from it.
Hope it works.
