Under Computer Management->Storage->Removable Storage->Physical Locations, I noticed the tape device (SEAGATE DAT 0624-XXX SCSI Sequential Device) marked with 'red cross'symbol.
But, I still can see the device name as \\.\Tape0 when I go to Property->Device Info tab.
Why so ?

W2000 will close connections when not being used. I get the same sort of X's and this is my assumption. For example, my network connections often X-out, but as soon as I try to open one...it is there. Perhaps this is a bandwidth/resource saving feature??? I am not sure, but I am sticking with my answer! Heh
