Okay, Desktape got it mounted and formated. So the drive is okay. I have retrospect express and it finds the drive but the scsi manger says no driver found. Retrospect is too new a version it won't run on the duo280c w / 8.1. i am going on a search for an older version. Thanks for the help I will keep playing with it and see what happens. It was only $3.00 at the surplus shop. So more for fun than anything else. --- "Eric L.
