Overland LoaderExpress with Backup Exec 7.3

[kg00se]

I am running Backup Exec 7.3 on and old Windows NT 4.0 box communicating to a Overland LoaderExpress DLT Tape Carrousel and I am having problems getting Backup Exec to see the device. the Tape Device is configured and working properly in windows nt, how ever in the Divices tab on backup exec it is showing that the Overland is Off-Line then shows <Unknown Drive> - Disabled.

Would really like to get some insite on this and a quick fix. this has been driving me up a wall.

Thanks,
kg00se

Delete the drive out of backup exec.

Also check the system log for any event ID 7,9, 11

Deleted the drive and restart Backup Exec. the drive came back as the same as before.

I also checked the logs for any event id 7,9, or 11 and found nothing.
