Windows 2000, NetBackup DataCenter 4.5 FP3

I'm trying to set up a lab environment for testing restores. My
production environment has a HP MSL5026 with two 40/80 DLT drives, but
all I have to work with for my lab is either a Compaq DLT 35/70 or
Compaq DLT VS 40/80, both standalone. In both cases, when trying to load
the catalog tape, it spits it back out saying it has a bad block.
Installing the Veritas drivers made no difference. I am able to write to
a brand new tape with no problem.

What can I try to get this working?

Thanks,
Lee Anne
