With a lump hammer.
As I said in my reply to your mail, the point is that a "hardware error"
isn't necessarily a hardware "error". It may just be the hardware trying
to tell you something. In this sense, the error is with the media rather
than with the hardware that reads it. Perhaps the guys tape is dead, not
the drive ?
