STOP Message with QIC 40 or 80 Tape Drive; Not Initialized

Q102953



The information in this article applies to:


  • Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1





SYMPTOMS

During Windows NT startup, a STOP message appears displaying memory addresses and values. If you wait long enough, the QIC device driver reports a failure to initialize the device.



CAUSE

The QIC 40 or 80 tape drive fails to initialize because of the hardware configuration.



RESOLUTION

Make sure the QIC tape drive is attached to your computer's native floppy disk drive controller, not a proprietary floppy controller. If this does not solve the problem, contact your vendor for more information.
