When trying to start a backup job I recieve the following alerts
"Media is unrecongnized" The media in drive WangDat1 is written in an urecognized format. Erase the media to make it usable.

I then recieve the following: "Please insert overwritable media into the drive."

The device is recognized by veritas, I see it trying to read the tape and I can eject it using veritas. We are using the current set of tapes we have done successful jobs with. We have tried new tapes also with same conclusion.

We have also noted that during the loading it is trying to load it to slot 1 instead of slot 0. Is there a way to force it to load from slot 0. We are not using a changer but an internal tape drive.
