How to add new Tape Drive ?

& how i can use it "its HP up to 20 G.B

Internal? External?

Assuming it came with a manual, that would probably tell you how to connect it. Otherwise HP.com will have the instructions. Look up the model number on there site. I use it all the time to set up printers for reps when I don't have that printer to look at, or the manual to see the error codes.

As far as how to use it, well it should have come with some software. Guessing if you install the softare, it will have some sort of tutorial, or just a simple "click this to backup" icon in the sys tray.

Sorry I can't be more helpful. Need more info to be more specific.

Definitely need to know its model #. They usually come with diskettes.

Your tape drive might be scsi, so you might not be able to install it at all. If its IDE then your in luck.. just install it physically the way you would a new cdrom drive. But depends on your existing setup on computer.

Then you need to install software that came with it if you bought it retail. Seagate Backup Exec is the most common.. all most all of them come with this program.
