Backup Exec Stalls in Loading Media Status?
I am in quite a jam right now. I am currently running Windows 2000 server with Backup Exec 8.6 (Yes I know it is pretty old). Anyways I am trying to runa backup - it is only about 14 gigs however, the Media Status stays in Loading Media forever. I just put a brand new tape in the drive so I know it is not the tape. However I am getting these two errors.
Please insert overwritable media into the drive.
Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
Anyone have idea's as to what steps I could take to fix this. I have tried a few configuration changes diagnostics etc., but I still doesn't seem to work?

Well Greg has voted for a bad drive, I vote for software flaws. It will be interesting if the question asker will try out all suggestions and let us know whether it was software or hardware -- thank you.....
