I have several DLT IV tapes that I used in a Dell PowerVault 110T-DLT-VS80 tape drive that I now want to use in a Dell PowerVault DLT IV Autoloader 4000 that has a Quantum 1DLT4000 tape drive in it. Backup Exec reports the drive type for the 110T to be DLT64K (64K,10,0,HU) and the 120T to be DLT32K (32K,10,0,HU). When I put the tapes in and inventory, they all report as "Bad Media". Is there some way to get these tapes to work with the 120T?

Thanks in advance.

DLTx000 and DLT1/VS80 formats are not compatible.
