The simplest way to tell if Windows 2000/XP is seeing the drives is to go to: Start -> Settings -> Control Panel In the Control Panel, select SCSI Adapters and expand the SCSI Card that has the library connected to it. The library and its drive(s) should be identified. As well, go into Windows Device Manager and make sure that the device(s) are not being claimed by Windows, hence under CD/DVD drives, the drives should be disabled (red X on them). If the SCSI card is not being seen, begin by checking to make sure that you have the latest drivers for the SCSI card, check to make sure that the drives are appropriately terminated and the cable length should not exceed 3 meters. Please check the Microsoft Windows 2000/XP Help Pages for information on how to add SCSI card drivers onto Windows 2000/XP.
