Problem
This article refers to versions of SnapBack before 5.20a
You are mounting a tape using TapeDisk under Windows 2003 and are using a version of SnapBack before 5.20a
When you go to open the drive in My Computer you receive the message "This disk is not formatted".
Cause
There is an issue when mounting a tape which has a Windows 2003 NTFS partition on it (FAT partitions work correctly) in this old version of SnapBack
Solution
Upgrade to SnapBack Exact 5.20a or higher which is fully compatible with Windows 2003
