    Image of the jumpers attached.Drive appears to run fine, accepts a tape but is not recognised by my mac?

    does the enclosure have a scsi cable connector (I want to assume that's connected when you are trying to see it, but best to be clear and sure)? jumpers won't provide the data transfer, just settings (see attached jumper setting pic)

    note the jumper setting for a slightly different model, but you get the idea hopefully (one end is SCSI ID and maybe the other end has your cables attached; play around with combos; again, assuming the wide flat ribbon cable is attached, which I don't see in your pics)

Supply an image (and would be great if you could supply image from old broken one and new one)

I'm a bit confused though: if you have an internal working sdt-5000 that you want to put into an external broken sdt-5000, it should be as simple as getting the enclosure open, then swapping the internal drives; i.e. external enclosures usually still use the same spec internal drive so it would just be an ide or scsi connector cable.

SOURCE: We have SONY Model SDT-5000

What is the drive doing or not doing?

Do you have power?

Does it accept a tape?

If yes, does it rewind the tape?

Is this an internal or is it enclosed in a chassis?

Did you load this driver? sxpdds_32_2600_102202_v1.0.0.2.zip http://sony.storagesupport.com/node/471
If so check the Windows Event Viewer System log for possible errors from the driver.

Sounds like your tape drive or possibly the tape you are using is faulty.
check the following:
#1 - use a different tape
#2 - check that the read-only is not enabled on the tape(s)
#3 - run diagnostics on the drive (if it's come with software for diagnostics).
#4 - return it to the supplier to test and replace if under warranty.

I bought new computer and i want to transfer my quickbooks 2005 to new , with my files. how do i do that?
You can either put in the old hard drive into your computer and set it as a slave with the jumpers on the back.
Go to a specialists and they'll transfer it for you for a fee :(
Buy an external housing case for your old HD and then xfer it that way.

Unlocked tapes recognized as locked
this is probably due to a stuck microswitch in the tape drive unit as the locked tag presses a microswitch when loaded it is possibly these microswitches that are failing, as one of the switches detects if a tape is loaded and the other detects is a tape is locked, so problems with these switches would mean that it cannot detect if the tape is loaded properly.
