This is hardware/software question, but primarily hardware driver..... I've switched a computer with a Seagate IDE Travan Tape Drive from Win 95 to Win 98. As far as I can tell it works great, *but*.... When I try to create an Emergency Recovery Disk from the Seagate Backup Exec for Windows 95, there is not enough room on the boot diskette for Win 98 and the Seagate drivers. When I contacted Seagate, they said that I had to upgrade the BU Exec software to BU Exec for Win 98 for US$ 60.00. There's gotta be another way to do this!!! The backup applet included with Windows 98 will backup to the tape drive fine (It is supplied by Seagate), *but* then when trying to make the recovery diskette, it says that this feature is not included with windows 98 and I must upgrade to Seagate's BU Exec for Win98 for US$ 60.00 to get this feature. Anyone got a better way for me to make a recovery boot diskette that will allow the tape drive to do what it was made to do with out paying a ransom?
