Superloader with LTO2 Drive

[blmbrsm]

I have a superloader with a LTO2 drive that I used X-talk to update the firmware on. Now the superloader does not see the drive and it appears as though the drive is seen as LTO1, so I qureied the drive in X-talk and it sees the drive as LTO1 not LTO2, but if I remove the sled from the superloader and use the drive it is seen as LTO2 by the OS which is windows 2003 server. Any ideas on how to get the superloader to see the drive as LTO2?

This is the output from XTalk

They Have V45 firmware for an HP LTO2 drive in a Superloader. Was this an upgrade from an LTO1 to an LTO2? I wonder if the interface card in the Superloader has to be changed as well? The F63D code is a SUN version for a desktop unit. This will not work in the superloader

No this was not an upgrade and I did not get the firmware from Sun - I do not have a Sun system, only windows 2k3, which will not allow you to upgrade firmware. I downloaded the V45 (F45Z_006_856.E) file from Quantum and I now get this when I try to use Quantum's dfu utility.

Why would a file from Quantum error with message the file does not contain a Quantum header ?
