There were no existing drives; that was the problem. This was a brand new 
installation of NW 7.4.0, so I could do that bootstrap reading that you 
and I spoke of. 

Once I removed the Win registry settings that enabled tape binding 
persistence, they showed up, and I could configure them for use with NW. I 
am at the moment doing the mmrecov phase of the restore.
