new tapes to scratch pool

On the Inventory Screen go to Advanced Options

In the lower section this relates to new media - the right hand one (Volume Pool) should be set to select your Scratch pool

That should then work for you.

Do note that some of these rules and setting as per user / per machine so if you run an inventory from a different admin console or while logged in as a different user you may need to change this setting again

An alternative is that once you have added new media during an inventory you just highlight it all, right click and select "Change" and then towards the bottom of the screen that comes up select the Volume Pool button, select the Scrathc Pool from the drop down list and click "OK" - all tape will then go to the scratch pool

You can move any tapes like this as long as they have not got a time assigned date against them (which means that they have already been used)

Hope this helps
