i have an Archive Python 06408-xxxx DDS4 Tape drive that came installed in a Dell PowerEdge server and my OS is using window 2000 server. My question is that how to access the tape drive? Why is that the tape is still unprepared after the prepare function.

Its possible that you have a bad tape. Tape media is very fragile and can
easily be damaged just by dropping it. Try a brand new tape, and if that
doesn't resolve your issue, Dell has excellent track record of
troubleshooting tape backup problems, you may want to give them a call.
