WindowsXP and HP Colorado tape drives

[ijb]

My computer includes a HP Colorado 8G TRAVAN drive which has functioned under Win98. Now under WindowsXP-Pro, I get the following error message:"Unrecoverable hardware error: replace media and try again." I have with three different tapes, same message.
WinXP recognizes the drive. HP recommended using the STOMP Backup my PC software since their own software isn't XP-compatible. HP has also replaced the drive three times. STOMP techs are stumped too.
Anybody have a clue?
