As NS said, it sounds like the tape is record protected.

Yup, bit of scellotape over the hols at the top of the tape or fill them with some tissue,

Alternatively look in the cassette casing in the HIFI and you might find that the little plastic jobby has snapped off that goes above the little holes in the cassette, if this is broke then it wont matter if the holes are covered in the cassette or not, youll need sort that out

Also, sometimes, you have to press the play and record button down on the deck your recording from.
