Tape Backup preparation in Removable Storage

K

Kerman Jones

Hello, I have windows 2000 server operating system on a
Dell PowerEdge server thats a year old. Whenever I pop a
Travan 5 NS tape cartridge into the Seagate 20000AT tape
drive(QIC?), I go to the Control Panel>> Computer
Management>> then to Removable Storage>> Physical
Location>> there will be a Red X next to the Seagate
internal tape drive device.>> under that you will see
Media but when I highlight it nothing appears on the right-
hand side. If right-click it and attempt to prepare it, I
get an error basically say that no media is there. I
delete the red x over and over but nothing works. These
are brand new tapes. Could some one please help???

I am having the same problem with a Compaq 20/40 DAT tape drive with the
drive showing up in the Removable Storage Manager with a red X on it and the
drive being reported as empty. I have tried suggestions from Microsoft
Knowledge Base, Veritas Knowledge Base and Compaq with no success. Did you
ever find a solution to this problem?
