Here is some advice from the HP 9830 service manual. It contains
a diagram of the tape path inside the cartridge and gives instructions
on how to rethread a tape.

You might want to add this picture
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/hp-tape.jpg> from my website. It shows the
tape and belt paths better than the one you have does. I think I got this
from one of the HP Journals that had an article about
the tape drive. I
think it was probably the June 1976
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/hpjournals/6-76.jpg> one that announced the
HP 9825 since it was the first released product to use that drive.

Here is some advice from the HP 9830 service manual. It contains
Can't be! The 9830 tape drive and cassette are very different to those
used in the 9825. The 9825, as we all know by now, uses a tape driven by
an endless belt in the cartridge. The 9830 uses tapes with the same form
factor as audio compact cassettes. The 9830 tape drive has 2 motors which
drive the 2 spools, with a pair of solenoids to engage the drive. There
is no capstan or pinch roller.
