Start by trying to get the tape file corresponding to the DLE you want by using a combination of mt to position the tape at the start of the file and dd to put the tape file off, onto the hard disk. If you encounter I/O errors there, then work on the hardware problems. Clean the heads, use a different drive, or consider the possiblity that they were written badly. -- Jon H.
