Lol… this is a good one.

I went to a client about an issue they were having with Excel… but of course, since “the computer guy” was in the office they asked me to take care of something else.

One of their employees was having a tough time getting a 4mm DDS tape out of the tape drive. It was an Archive Python drive.

I tried disabling/enabling the drive…. nothing. I tried restarting the server…. nothing. So, I called backup. I was supposed to hold the eject button on the tape drive while I restarted the server.

I tried it… nohting. Ahhhhh.

Solution: Turn off the server completely…. when coming back on hit the eject button…. POOF! It came out.

I felt dumb…
