DLT Tape / WIN2k Backup

Managers:

I realize this may be the wrong forum, but I'm desperate. I have a DLT 4500
attached to my SUN Enterprise 450. System works great, I'm able to do
backups, etc.

My problem...my boss requested a vendor to dump an entire image library onto
a DLT tape. Fine. But the vendor used WIN2K backup to do the dump. When I
try mt -f /dev/rmt/1n fsf 0, I get an I/O error, and the machine makes some
funny noises trying to read the tape. Does anyone know of a way to recover
these files from the tape using my SUN?

Thank you
