klucich Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I have retrospect 4.1 and a Tecmar tape drive. Everything was working fine until one day I inserted a tape (any tape for that matter) is just says rewinding and hangs up. Anyone know what this might be? The little lights on the front of the drive say the drive and tape are active. I cannot retrieve anything now and I have a rush order staring me in the face that needs to be retrieved.

natew Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hi It sounds like the tape drive may be failing or the tape heads may be dirty. Does this happen with every tape you insert? How often do you clean the tape drive? Thanks Nate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klucich Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Yep. Every tape. My cohort just took it apart and discovered the fan isn't even running. We ordered another one and it will be here Monday. Thanks, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
