    Hi Emort,

     

    ...on top of this, I'd suggest getting hold of the latest Symantec drivers for your version of BE. Install them.

    Once done, and the autoloader is detected in Windows, open up Backup Exec and then run the device configuration wizard. This will allow you to install the drivers within Windows for the unit.

    You can also select the option to delete non-existant hardware, which I'd suggest.

    Go to Devices, and check if the old device is showing up...if it still does, manually uninstall it.

    Then make the change in your jobs to point to the new device.

     

    Thanks!
