mapex,
Are you saying you've backed up a PT session as DATA on CD using Adaptec, and are trying to reimport the files into a ProTools session?
If so, you have to uncheck 'Read Only' on each of the files, and save back to your Hard Drive before they can be imported back into a PT session.

To uncheck them all at once, go to 'Edit/Select All', then right click on just ONE of the files, choose 'Properties', and uncheck 'Read Only'. Then you can save them to your HD, and they will import into your PT session.

Sheesh, that was long! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I just hope I understood what you were saying...if not, post back.
