Just had a media error this morning (error 7). Power cycle the drive. Then you can eject the tape and try cleaning the drive.

List,
I know it's Friday night, but I'm getting ready to do an OS upgrade. My save
got about 15% done when I got a media error. I now have a red 6 on the front
of the drive, and the tape will not eject.
The customer's maintenance records can't be found by that big call center in
the sky (Phillippines).
Anybody know how to eject this tape?
