Frequently Asked Questions About USB Drivers 5

I installed my Quantum USB tape drive then powered on my server.

Windows didn’t run the Found New Hardware wizard and the drive

appears to work OK. Is there anything I need to do to make my drive

function optimally?

• It is likely that Windows installed a driver for the tape drive using

Windows Update when the system booted up. It will not have

installed the Quantum USB device driver, which is recommended, and

may be running an out-of-date Quantumdat driver.

• Run the installer from the Quantum Resource CD in order install the

Quantumusbmsc driver and, if necessary, update the Quantumdat

driver.

I plugged in the Quantum USB tape drive with my server powered on
