Chapter 3: Installing the
Software
Checking Your Parallel Ports
Before installing the software, you should check your computers parallel port
settings to ensure the maximum performance from your tape drive. There are
currently four types of parallel ports on the market: (listed from the slowest data
transfer rate to the fastest) unidirectional, bidirectional, Enhanced Parallel Port
(EPP), and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP).
New computers are likely to have at least an Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), which
allows the maximum performance from your tape drive. Consult your computer’s
documentation to learn if you have an EPP or ECP port. If you have one, verify that it
is configured to the fastest possible setting.
Interchangeability of Tapes
The Colorado Backup software for DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and the
Windows NT applet have the following interchangeability:
CAUTION: If you create backups under more than one operating system, use a
separate set of tapes for each operating system. Label each tape appropriately.

Installing Colorado Backup for Your Operating System
Your parallel-port tape drive can easily be shared among computers using different
operating systems. Changing the drive between computers is as easy as attaching it to
the parallel port and starting Colorado Backup. The Colorado Backup software
installation CD includes the files for installing the backup software for DOS,
Windows, and Windows 95. Your tape drive can also be configured to work with
Windows NT 4.0. Select the environment you work in and turn to the appropriate
section for installation instructions:
nDOS—page 12
nWindows—page 17
nWindows 95—page 23
nWindows NT 4.0—page 27
NOTE: If your computer has a power-management feature that shuts off your
computer after a specified period of time since the last keyboard input, you may
experience problems with certain operations that exceed the time limit. Turn off the
power-management feature when performing a long running operation such as a
total or full-system backup. Check your computers manuals to find out how to turn
off or change the time limit of the power-management feature.
Installing Colorado Backup for DOS

application does not support Windows 95 conventions such as long filenames and
backups of the registry. See “Installing Colorado Backup for Windows 95” on

If You Have Problems
Try the following suggestions:
nExit out of all applications. Turn off the computers power, wait 20 seconds, then
turn it on again. Unplug the tape drive and then plug it in again. (This is called
cycling power.) Then start Colorado Backup.
nVerify that your computer meets the requirements listed in “Minimum System
Requirements” on page 35 for the operating system in which you are using
Colorado Backup.
nDoes the drive move the tape when the tape is inserted? If not, check the power
connections to the tape drive.
nDisconnect all the cables, look for and straighten any pins, and then reconnect the
cables. Sometimes just reconnecting a cable aligns it correctly or adjusts the pin
connections, fixing a faulty connection.
nIf you have a printer connected to the HP Colorado tape drive, turn off the
computers power. Disconnect the tape drive and the printer. Reconnect only
your tape drive to the parallel port, then turn the computer on and start Colorado
Backup. If Colorado Backup works properly, it is likely you have a conflict with

the printer.
nMake sure that there is no switch box anywhere in the HP Colorado drives
cabling configuration.
nYour parallel port may be using the same IRQ setting as some other device in
your computer system. For example, a sound board or fax/modem board may be
using the same IRQ. If you discover conflicts, change the IRQ setting on the
other device. Refer to the manuals that came with your computer and other
devices for instructions.
nIf your tape drive works, but the data transfer rate is noticeably slow or the tape
repeatedly starts and stops (as opposed to running continually for long periods),
consult your computers documentation to view and edit the parallel port’s
CMOS settings. Newer computers are likely to have enhanced parallel ports
(EPP) or extended capabilities ports (ECP), which transfer data much faster than
unidirectional, bi-directional, or compatible ports. Some factory settings may
have the EPP or ECP ports set as a slower unidirectional port. Changing the
CMOS settings in this case can greatly improve the tape drive’s performance.
nMake sure you are using the right type of tape. See “Choosing Tapes for Your
Tape Drive” on page 32.
nWindows and Windows 95 users: If the tape-drive icon appears with a red mark
through it, the software either cannot find the drive at the selected settings, or the
inserted tape is not compatible. (Windows 3.x users can click on the tape icon to
read the error message.) Exit the software and restart it. If the mark remains, try
the operation with a different tape.
nIf your computer has a power-management feature that shuts off your computer
after a specified period of time since the last keyboard input, you may experience
problems with certain operations that exceed the time limit. Turn off the power-
management feature when performing a long running operation such as a total or
full-system backup. Check your computers manuals to find out how to turn off
or change the time limit of the power-management feature.
nCheck the read-me file on the software installation CD that came with your tape
drive or the HP web site (see page 46) for any late-breaking troubleshooting
information.
Achieving optimal performance
Run SCANDISK.EXE and DEFRAG.EXE on your hard drive before using your tape
drive for the first time (see your DOS, Windows 3.x or Windows 95 manual for more
information). Then run them periodically after that. These programs improve access
times to the hard drive, which will help improve the tape drive’s performance.

Printer Status Monitor Software
NOTE: This is only a problem if your printer is connected to the back of the tape
drive.
If your printer came with a program that notifies you about the status of the printer
(such as when it is out of paper), this printer status monitor software might cause
problems. The printer status monitor software checks the status of your printer every
few seconds. If this happens while you are writing data to your tape, it will cause data
corruption. Turn off the printer status monitor software to prevent this problem.
Check the information that came with your printer to find out how to do this.
Known Compatibility Problems
nCheck the Readme file on the software installation CD for additional
information.
nCheck the web site listed on page 46 for the most recent information.
nAcer computers, some models P75 to P120
DO NOT connect the tape drive to the printer (parallel) port. On these models,
connecting an external storage device, such as the HP Colorado drive, to the
parallel port will damage the port. Contact your computer manufacturer for more
information.
nOkidata printer model 4w
Printer no longer works or problems printing a file after connecting it to the tape
drive
nYour parallel port may be using the same IRQ setting as some other device in
your computer system. For example, a sound board or fax/modem board may be
using the same IRQ. If you discover conflicts, change the IRQ setting on the
other device. Refer to the manuals that came with your computer and other
devices for instructions.
nIf your printer is attached to the tape drive, printing documents while using the
tape drive will yield unpredictable results and is not a supported function. This is
because the printer and tape drive are sharing the same data cable.

In Windows 95 only, your tape drive can also read from but NOT write to backup
tapes made using Colorado Backup software and a Jumbo 250, 350, 700, 1400;
Trakker 250, 350, or 700; T1000; or T3000 tape drive.
The following section explains how to insert your tapes. Please note the differences
between the HP Colorado cartridges and the standard mini-data cartridge when they
are fully inserted.
CAUTION: Do not erase C4425 or C4429 tapes with bulk erasers. Magnetic bulk
erasing removes tracking reference points that are placed on the tape at the factory.
Without these points, the tapes cannot be read by your tape drive. The Erase utility in
Colorado Backup is the safest and quickest method of removing data from your tapes.
Inserting a Tape
1. Align the tape with the tape-drive door. The record/play area faces the door and goes
in first.
2. Insert the tape with the metal base plate facing away from the colored strip on the
tape drive.
3. Steady the drive with one hand and push the tape into the tape drive with the other.
You will feel it lock into place.
After the cartridge is inserted, you will hear the sound of the tape being wound back
and forth. This sound indicates that the tape drive is finding the beginning of the tape,
determining the tape’s length and format, and positioning the drives read/write head.
Note the differences between the two cartridge types when they are fully inserted.

Removing a Tape
1. Wait until the light on the front of your tape drive quits blinking. (DO NOT remove a
tape during an operation. See the CAUTION note below.)
2. Steady the drive with one hand and grasp the tape cartridge with the other. Pull the
cartridge straight out.
CAUTION: Interfering with a tape during operations may cause data loss, and may
make the tape temporarily unrecordable. If, during a backup, you pull the tape out of
the drive, turn off the power to the computer, or firmly bump the tape, you will not be
able to read the data currently written to the tape. Also, the tape will not be
recordable until it is erased with Colorado Backup’s Erase utility. (Never use a
magnetic bulk eraser to erase your HP Colorado C4425 or C4429 tapes. Bulk
erasers remove reference points on the tape that are vital. Removing these points
makes tapes unusable.)
Caring for Your Tape Drive
You do not need to perform any routine maintenance on the HP Colorado tape drive.
CAUTION: Do NOT clean the read/write head of an HP Colorado tape drive.
CAUTION: Do NOT degauss or demagnetize the read/write head of an HP Colorado
tape drive. Damage to your tape drive will result.

What Affects Performance
How well your new HP tape drive functions, particularly how fast it writes data to
tape, depends on a number of factors. Some of these factors are listed below.
Processor (CPU). The type and speed of your processor greatly affects the speed at
which your computer transfers data to and from the tape drive.
RAM. Your computer must have enough memory available to handle its operating
system, the backup software, and the data you are transferring to and from tape. The
system should not have to swap data to and from the hard drive. Shut down other
programs during a backup to ensure optimal speed.
Parallel Port Type. The type of parallel port on your computer has a major influence
in determining the speed at which your HP Colorado tape drive runs. Possible
parallel port types are:
nStandard parallel port (SPP) which is sometimes called unidirectional, bi-
directional, or compatible
nEnhanced parallel port (EPP)
nExtended capabilities port (ECP)
TIP: Check your computers specifications to see which kind of parallel port was
installed. Sometimes a fast ECP/EPP port will be set up as a slow standard mode port
at the factory (for example, some HP Vectra models). Check your computer’s manual
to find out how to reset it to the faster speed. If that doesn’t work you can also install
a faster parallel port.
I/O and IRQ. The IRQ (interrupt request level) and I/O (input/output) base address
are the computer resources used by the parallel port. The HP Colorado tape drive will
have better performance on a parallel port set to:
IRQ 7 with I/O base address 378, or
IRQ 5 with I/O base address 278
Most computers automatically assign these. But, depending on your computer’s
configuration, these settings may be different.
Your parallel port may have a conflict with another device (such as your sound card
or FAX/modem) if both are assigned the same IRQ or I/O settings. If there is a
conflict, change the settings on the other device. To find out if your computer has a
conflict:

In Windows 95, right-click on the My Computer icon, select Properties, select the
Device Manager tab, double-click on the computer icon to see a list of which device
is using each resource setting on your computer.
For optimum performance, run SCANDISK.EXE and DEFRAG.EXE on your hard
drive (see “Achieving optimal performance” on page 30).
Refer to your computer manual or contact your computer vendor if you have any
questions about your computers configuration or capabilities.
