I have a number of tapes that will not allow me to re-use them with my primary backup machine; they seem to work well enough with an old server that I resurrected. The problem is I am unable to get the media to be freed.

I get pop up that say the media is write protected when it is not. The very same tape works as intended in another machine.

My error log says:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Removable Storage Service
Event Category: None
Event ID: 8
Date: 7/4/2005
Time: 3:24:58 PM
User: N/A
Computer: WDT
Description:
Library BNCHMARK DLT1 SCSI Sequential Device failed to write a free media label on media 23 because the media is write protected.
