Bounce to disk problems

[Lugh98]

I have Os 10.3, G5 1.8 single, 1.5 GB Ram using PT LE 6.9 and a Digi 002... I'm attempting to bounce a song with some effects (amplitube on two tracks, only 4 tracks of audio, 88.2 sample rate convert to 44) I have a Lacie D2 120GB and I keep getting the error message:

DAE can't get audio from the drive fast enough, Your drive may be too slow or fragmented, or a firewire drive could be having trouble due to the extra firewire bandwith or CPU load (-9073)

I've done test bounces using other pieces of music w/out the DAE and it worked, sometimes it won't even let me play back fully.

Is my system too slow to handle 88.2 with multipile DAE? Song is about 6 minutes
Should I defragment the drive?
I'm mixing it down to the same Lacie external that the source material is recorded on...
Should I bounce each track w/ DAE individually and then import?

Any solutions/ideas?

thanks in advance... Sorry for the long post.

Make sure you have selected the beginning and end of the session you want to bounce. You may not have set a limit for the end of the song and are trying to bounce a lot of empty space at the end.

From the Pro Tools LE 6.9 Read Me for Mac:

DAE Error –9073 when Recording to a FireWire Drive and the 2 GB File Limit is Reached (Item #42611)

When the 2 GB file limit is reached during recording to FireWire drives, a 9073 error is posted instead of the expected “Recording
has been terminated because a disk is full” dialog. This error is benign, and does not signal any data loss or problem
with the hard drive.

There are a number of results for a search on 9073 errors. If you haven't, go to the Support section:
www.digidesign.com/support

and in the Support Search on the left side, enter just the error number:
9073

which should give you all of the Answerbase results.
