you said "Powervault 136T with 3xSDLT drives..." and then "reuse tapes that 
were written to by a DLT 7000"

DLT 7000 uses DLT type IV.   SDLT can not write to this tape.

It can only read from it (and only if it's a newer drive with the correct 
firmware.  the very early SDLT drives were not backward read compatible.)

All, 

I have a new Powervault 136T with 3xSDLT drives, I am also converting from 
Arcserve 2000 to Netbackup 4.5 MP2 running on Win2k.  I want to reuse 
tapes that were written to by a DLT 7000 drive using Arcserve, and keep 
getting Error 84 codes.  Is it possible to reuse these tapes?  Can I 
somehow format them so they can be used???  We have a bunch of media like 
this and we would like to reuse it. 

Any and all help would be much appreciated
