Colorado 14GB

Internal, running on Win2000 PRO, using the latest drivers available from HP website.
I purchased my tape backup many years ago. Originally on a win98 machine. Now using on win2K. I use the backup/restore ustility included with windows. I used that utility to backup almost 6GB of data. Then lost the HD. Fdisk-format-reinstall of OS and software. Now only a small part of my data shows up when I try to restore. also an older backup i did weeks ago is apearing under the original media descriptor. Also I get an error message "the media in the drive must be erased before it can be used" is there anyone that can help me get my data off the drive and also tell me how to avoid this problem in the future???
