Solution
Warning: Incorrect use of the Windows registry editor may prevent the operating system from functioning properly. Great care should be taken when making changes to a Windows registry. Registry modifications should only be carried-out by persons experienced in the use of the registry editor application. It is recommended that a complete backup of the registry and workstation be made prior to making any registry changes.
- Go to the following path in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{6D807884-7D21-11CF-801C-08002BE10318} - In the right hand pane for class make sure it states 'Tape drive'.
- In the right hand pane look for upper filter and lower filter, right click on them one by one, and delete them.
- Reboot the server. Install the latest Symantec Tape Device Drivers by either running LiveUpdate or by manually downloading them from Symantec's Web Site. http://www.symantec.com/business/support/downloads.jsp?pid=15047
- Confirm the device drivers have installed properly by checking the properties on the tape drive once again in the Windows Device Manager.
