Hi,

After re-installed the driver system is show drive is ready for use.

Can I know this is old dirve which used in past days and given error now or changed due to old one given error. If this is old one and working fine in pas days then this is related to driver or tape drive fault. In case you have changed due to old one was faulty then this drive is not compatable.

Hi,

You deinstall the driver of your device and reinstall it. It seems that there was problem with driver. So reinstall it once again, Your problem will be resolved.
