"Operation has stopped because an error has occurred while reading or writing data which the drive cannot correct."

Running Backup Exec Desktop on Win2k.
The last operation performed on the tape was a retension.

The retension was done after attempting an overwrite backup, where the backup failed and message to retension the tape was given.

My first guess is that the tape is bad. I have been unable to find any references to this error specifically for backup exec. I did find this exact error in reference to a HP tape drive problem. The recommended course of action for that was to replace the entire drive.
