Larry,

I already have the drive removed.
Not seeing the hole, I think I need to remove the drive covers?
3573 library.

Service call in process, waiting for CE to call.

Generally there is a hole in the bottom of the drive that you can turn with a security torx driver to reverse the tape back into the cartridge.
This can be accessed once you pull the drive and sled out of the library.

Of course you didn't SAY it was a TS3100/TS3200 style library so I'm just assuming that. :-)
