Installing the LTO
Driver

If you intend to use your drive with the Microsoft native backup applet

on Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Microsoft Windows 2000

operating system, install the appropriate LTO driver. See the Resource

CD. This driver is not necessary with commercial backup application

software.
