The simplest way to tell if Windows 2000/XP/2003 is seeing the drives/libraries is to go to: Start -> Settings -> Control Panel Then in 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 if using CD/DVD drives, then under CD/DVD drives, the drives should be disabled (red X on them), if using optical or blue ray drives, then under Disk Drives, the optical drives should be disabled and under Medium Changers, your library should be disabled as well.
