1. A computer-implemented method for using a cut and paste segment for reading a standard Housekeeping Data Set (sHKDS), the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, by one or more computer processors, a request to reposition a tape media in a tape drive;
responsive to encountering an error reading an sHKDS while attempting to reposition the tape media, using, by the one or more computer processors, one segment of a plurality of segments from a data set cut and paste error recovery procedure (ERP) for an sHKDS cut and paste ERP; and
responsive to recovering the sHKDS using the sHKDS cut and paste ERP, releasing, by the one or more computer processors, the one segment reserved for the sHKDS cut and paste ERP to the data set cut and paste ERP.
