Huh? System drive now Audio Drive?

[cruisemates]

I just upgraded to 6.7. It worked fine for a few days, but now as I have re-booted and try to open a new session it says my disk allocation has changed - it is now saying my session files are on my C: drive, which is my system drive. My audio drive is F:

When it asks me if I want to change the allocation and I try to point it to my audio drive (where the files were originally recorded and still reside) it says that drive/folder is "not an audio playback volume". Well, it used to be...

I went into disk management and the both disks are NTFS formatted and set as "basic" not dynamic.

I cannot play any sessions. Why would PT suddenly start thinking my drives are reversed? Why would my audio drive suddenly become unplayable? (the drive is still there, I can play my mix.wav files from it). I didn't change anything hardware-wise.

The only thing I can think of that I did is that I installed the T-racks and GrooveMaker demos from the included sample software disks. So I uninstalled them - no help.

Check "Show Workspace".....Make sure that the drive is set to "R" for recording.

Thank you, Roy. That was it. Funny, I saw another message on here where someone said their drives were getting changed from T to R for no reason, but I didn't know what that meant. Considering a lot of people looked at my message before you answered, a lot of people didn't know that either.

That was my post. Pro Tools is still changing it on me.

Chuck, I saw the DigiAdmin recommended you deleted the Digi Databases. That didn't help?

Hi Folks,

Sorry to be a buttinski, but where will I find the box to check the "Show workspace" so that I can check "R" for record?

I have been trying to figure this one out for a while now.

Thanks,

Shaun.

......In the edit view, click the windows tab at the top. Then select "show workspace". Make sure that your drive is set to "R" for record.

Actually, you don't need to be in edit or mix mode - show workspace is a window of its own (at least in 6.7). Under the "windows" menu, select "show workspace" it is a small window with you drives listed. The heading is "A" and you select T for transfer, R for recording or P for Playback.

Just another one of those things you never think about until it messes up.

Many Thanks.
