Hi Matt,
Retrospect can poll the floppy drive constantly on systems with SuperDisk
drivers and no SuperDisk. The problem is that the pre-installed system had
SuperDisk drivers installed, even though there is no SuperDisk on the
computer. The fix for this is a simple edit of the registry.
1. Launch Regedit and open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
2. Find the key (or similar): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Enum \SCSI
\COMPAQ__LS-120_COM___
\MFCHILD0001PCIVEN_8086DEV_7111%SUBSYS_FUNC_0110
4. Within this key look for a value named "CurrentDriveLetter". Change this
from "A" to "B" (or any unused drive letter on your system).
5. Quit Regedit, saving changes, and restart.
Hope that helps!
Regards,
Irena Solomon

Subject: Floppy
Ok, I've got another strange problem. We are in the process of
moving our backups from an older PC to a newer PC.
We installed Windows 98v2 (not my choice, but we had to) and did all
the Windows updates.
Installed Retrospect 5.0 and now when Retrospect is running, the
floppy drive just rattles.
Updated to 5.15, no change.
The "new" System is a Pentium III - 550, CD-ROM and CD-WR. SCSI card
with a DLT drive connected to it. (well, the DLT is not connected
yet, but it will be)
The old system is a Pentium Pro 200.
Any ideas on this? I looked for a little while on the web sites and
could not find anything related to this problem. I was wondering if
the ASPI driver has something to do with it as we just clicked
NEXT-NEXT-FINISHED all through the installation, accepting all
defaults and I noticed that it said that it was installing the ASPI
drivers as well.
TIA
MattB
