Hello<br>I need to know whether is it possible to perform data compression using a HP Colorado tape under Windows NT Server 4. The default NT apple does't allow this feature, using the option /hwc in the command line, NT ignores it. I've service pack 3, and I used the driver supplied with my backup set (a Colorado 5 GB ide). I've looked for this information in the hp site, but I didn't find a solution. They suggest to use the Colorado Backup II software, but I didn't get any result.<br>I'd like to know if a service pack (4 or more) can solve this problem.<br><br>Thank you<br><br>Elena<br>Italy

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if my memory serves me correctly NT does not support HW compression for IDE drives. As a matter of fact, I never had anything but problems using IDE tape drives with NT. Your best option is to go with an inexpensive SCSI drive if cost is a concern.
