HP Storageworks 1/8 G2 autoloader with Symantec Backup Exec 2010

I'm having problems getting this working properly. We currently have the autoloader which was originally setup to use data protector express. The original IT guy who worked here only put a trial version on the system. I have since installed Symantec Backup Exec 2010 but keep getting errors no matter what I do. I already have a full backup of the data on another server so deleting the existing tapes and starting from scratch is not a problem. Besides I'm using a different backup program anyways. I inventoried all the tapes, but if I attempt to start a backup, I just get errors.

Error                  : e0000f16 - The operation failed to acquire the minimum number of drives and media needed.
That's when I try to run a backup.

This is if I try to catalog
Error             : 800706be - 0x800706be (2147944126)
For additional information regarding this error refer to link V-79-32775-1726
In which the link takes me to page not found/available on symantecs website.

This is if I try to erase a library:
Error category    : Other ErrorsError             : 80070057 - One or more arguments are invalid

 It's been years since I run a backup system like this. I was back on veritas backup with a standard single tape drive which had to be swapped out daily. Is there a really well written tutorial on getting this configured from scratch that I could try?

Thanks in advance!
