Again, here is the result from the mount command: C:\Documents and Settings\Marc>mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) \device\tape0 on /dev/st0 type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) \\.\tape0 on /dev/st1 type system (binmode) \.tape0 on /dev/tape type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount) Which clearly states that \device\tape0 is mounted on /dev/st0, which tells me I should be able to use /dev/st0, but when I try, I get this: C:\Documents and Settings\Marc>mt -f /dev/st0 status mt: /dev/st0: No such file or directory For grins, I also tried this: C:\Documents and Settings\Marc>mt -f \device\tape0 status mt: \device\tape0: No such file or directory Without success. The ls command can find the drive: C:\Documents and Settings\Marc>ls -l /dev/st0 crw-rw-rw- 1 Marc None 9, 0 May 28 11:57 /dev/st0 So.. what am I doing wrong? Thanks!
