ASR & DLT

In my test lab, I've successfully performed an ASR on my HP LC2000 /w 4mm
DAT, so I think I know what I'm doing. BUT trying to ASR a Compaq Proliant
with DLT VS80 it wont work. Heres the steps: After I install the OS and run
ASR ntbackup, it creates floppy and image on the DLT. I delete the
partition, boot with the W2K3 OS CD ROM, press F6 (to identify my HP Smart
Array 641 controller) then press F2 to start the ASR recovery. Everything go
fine until the ntbackup portion is requesting the media. The DLT is in the
drive and I press enter but the request screen keeps up asking me to insert
the media. I've checked the sif files on the floppy and verified it's
looking for the DLT VS80 tape drive. BTW the DLT is an internal drive.

 

As a follow up it seems that in ASR NTbackup is not mounting the tape drive.
Is it possible I need to load a driver (F6) for the tape drive? If anyone is
using Compaq + DLT (value 80) with ASR please advise. Thank you much!
