| Event Id | 119 |
| Source | Removable Storage Service |
| Description | RSM could not Verify the media in drive Drive 5 of library library name because the on-media-identifier did not match what was expected. |
| Event Information | You remove ARCserve software from a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer. When you try to use a tape device that was formatted by using the ARCserve software, the tape device does not work and this event with event id 10, 119, 127 etc from the same source will be logged in. CAUSE: This problem occurs because Removable Storage is looking for a file that has been removed. When Removable Storage tries to load a media label library file, Removable Storage cannot recognize the on-media identifier (OMID) on the tape device. Removable Storage does not recognize the OMID because the media label library file has been removed from the registry. When you install ARCserve software, the software installation process registers a media label library file with Removable Storage. A media label library file is a .dll file that uses a specific tape format to identify the data that is written on a tape device. When you use a tape device that is formatted by using ARCserve software, Removable Storage uses the media label library file to recognize the OMID on the tape device. If you try to use the tape device after the ARCserve software has been removed, Removable Storage still refers to the media label library registry entry. Removable Storage still tries to use the .dll file that has been removed to recognize the OMID on the tape device. RESOLUTION: To resolve this problem, remove the media label library registry entry that is associated with the ARCserve software. To do this, follow these steps: Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
