Can anyone offer any help with the following hardware:
I am running Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4,
I have a Seagate TapeStor Travan STT20000A 20GB tape drive.
When I boot the PC up the Removeable Storage Manager tells me that the device is un-available, therefore if I remove the drive from Device Manager and reboot the PC, the drive re-appears and works OK. However if I then reboot again the drive becomes un-available.

So each time I reboot the PC it seems to lose the drive, even though it still appears fine under Device Manager.

Has anyone else had this problem?
