Odd problem!
Hilary,
There is a DISCONNECT option in ExpertPrep that can be turned off for the RDB
of the hard drive. As always, backup your drive before making ANY changes to
the RDB, as data could be lost during a re-write. For the tape drive, you need
to add a line to your user-startup file using the GVPSCSICTRL program:
GVPSCSICTRL {ID} DCOFF ({ID} is the SCSI ID number of the tape drive)
Place GVPSCSICTRL in your C: directory.
