The error is simply informing you that AVR (automatic volume recognition) failed.  It will treat the tape as unlabeled.  You can go ahead and use the tape like any other, and it will write over the old label.  No special handling is required.  This is the same thing that happens with a new tape.

I have several DDS-2 tapes that have been written to by PC-based backup
software.  When loaded into the HP's tape drive, it tries to find the tape
header and fails telling me there is a parity error on the tape.

How do I erase, reformat or write a new header to the tape so it can be
used on the HP?  Thanks.
