Default Can't Open 6.4 LE sessions in 8 LE

Any ideas on how to open older sessions? I have upgraded from Digi 001, PT 6.4LE on a 10.4 G4 Mac to Digi 002, PT 8LE, on a XP (sp3) Dell 4600?
Thanks
confused

Be sure when you save on the Mac that you check the box for Mac/PC compatibility.

So all files need to be saved for both formats.
Thank so much Tom

On pre-ver.7 Pro Tools, sessions needed to be saved with a compatibility mode selected. You could choose this when you created the session, or later you could select Save Session Copy and then check a box to Enforce PC/Mac compatibility. Now if all the audio files were consolidated(so each track is a single continuous file), then you might be able to import just the audio into a new PT8 session(if the files are SD II, then PT8 should be able to convert them on the way in. Your best bet would be to find someone with a Mac and open each session and use the Save Session Copy function and enforce compatibility. When you installed PT8 on your PC, there was an option box to select to install HFS+ drive compatibilty and that would allow you to access the files from a Mac formatted drive.
