Vaughan101 Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Using Retrospect 5.6, my new device will not display in bold. The guide says to quote Determine which other device driver is loading and disable it unquote. How, please? Vaughan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hi Retrospect does not load a driver for DVD-RAM disks. If you create a removable disk backup set and run a backup is the device recognized? Thanks Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan101 Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thanks for that. I was being stupid about the DVD-RAM disk issue - treat it like a file, and everything works pretty well. But, it's limited to 4.7Gb, and with Photos and stuff, I need to back up about 10 Gb. The Panasonic DVD writer is a multi format device. Seems to me that I could use it in DVD-RW mode and use several DVDs for the backup - as I used to do writing to CD-RW with an earlier drive. In the latter context, Retrospect sees the drive as MATSHITA DVD-RAM SW-9572 version F100, using Configure / Environment, but not in bold, so Retrospect is signalling that it cannot use it as a backup medium in this mode. What might I do to persuade Retrospect to recognise the drive in DVD-RW mode, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natew Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hi An upgrade to Retrospect 6.5 would solve the problem in two ways. 1) you can use a "disk" backup set which will allow you to span multiple DVD RAMs. or 2) Retrospect includes a driver to use this with DVD-R/RW CD-R/RW media.
