URGENT! Looking to a creative work-around for MBOX 2 Pro Firmware Crash
UPDATE: I just got the blue screen of death, but lived another day. The good news: The machine restarted and windows rebooted! The bad news: ****** light is still flashing. Now what? Is my Mbox 2 Pro box fried?
So here's the cheeky fun I've gotten myself into... I'm on a Windows 7 machine with a HD that's on it's way out, but currently is up and running smooth. I just did some work in Pro Tools LE 8.04 that I really like. It's using plug-ins that work with that version and everything is exactly how I want it. Unfortunately ... The driver crashed mid session and I had to force quit. I do have the work saved, but ever since, I've had the flashing orange light of doom and the firmware is corrupted. This has never happened before. Here's where I need the workaround: I'm sure simply restarting windows would repair the connection, BUT... if I do, Windows might not boot. Yes, I do intend to fix this rig ASAP, but I have other non-music work to finish and I'd really love to bounce this track. It's for a gofundme page to support someone in the ICU for Covid and someone is waiting for it. My OS is running fine at the moment. I have a single bad physical sector in the boot portion of the drive, so as long as I don't shut down — I'm ok. What I tried:
Am I missing something easy here? Help? [Note: A Sandra report is coming up in the reply. Please don't hate on the system, I really like this OS and I have what I consider the "sweet spot" versions of all my software. I'm not a newbie and have used new versions of PT, I just like this set up and it's never given me any issues. Last edited by studiomagic; 05-11-2020 at 08:41 PM. |
