HP Storage StoreOpen Standalone for Microsoft Windows User Guide

4. Once a formatted cartridge is detected, or if no cartridge is present, the file system service is

A Windows Explorer window will now include an LTFS volume. The first time you access this drive
volume there will be a slight delay whilst the index is loaded and checked, but from then on the
drive volume may be accessed as normal.
CAUTION: If you insert a cleaning cartridge while a drive letter is assigned to the tape drive,
HP Store Open will attempt to use the cartridge. This can degrade the life of the cleaning cartridge.
In order to preserve the cleaning cartridge, remove the drive letter mapping for the tape drive by
using the LTFS configurator before inserting the cleaning cartridge in to the tape drive.
