I've got a HP DATstore DDS4 40GB tape drive from work that I'd like to transfer some tapes with. It reports data errors and the clean led blinks when I've tried to use it to back up computer data. I've run a dry-type cleaning tape through multiple times but get the same errors. Any insight into cleaning one of these to salvage it?Also any leads on software to read the raw PCM data off the DATs for transfering?
Thanks Chris, that's what I figured. I've got a demagnitizer boxed away somewhere from my analog deck days. Never demaged a helical scan head before, anything to be aware of?
