Erasing the media usually resolves the error.

To erase media in a drive:

1. From the Devices tab, do one of the following:

 a. Right-click the drive to display the shortcut menu, and then click Erase
 b. Select a drive, and then on the Tools menu, point to Device Operations, and then click Erase

2. Click Quick or Long

The following warning is displayed:

Warning: This operation will be performed on the current media in the drive or slot. If the media has been changed since the last inventory operation was performed, the cartridge label in the next dialog may not match the media in the drive or slot selected.

3. Click OK to continue

The Erase dialog box is displayed.

The media label that is displayed in the Erase dialog box was read during the last inventory operation. The media label displayed does not change until another inventory operation occurs. Therefore, if you change media in the slot or drive but did not run Inventory, the media label displayed may not match the actual media in the slot or drive.

4. Click one of the following:

Yes: Click this to erase the data on the media specified in the dialog box.

No: If you selected multiple media to erase, click this if you do not want to erase the media specified in the dialog box.

Yes to All: If you selected multiple media to erase, click this to erase data on all the selected media without further prompting.

Cancel: Click this to stop the erase operation.

Help: Click this for help on the Erase operation.
