Default My hard drive does not appear on desktop
I have an extra ATA hard Drive named PTLE & it's where I Store all my Pro tools sessions.
Last time I was working on a session and accidently put to sleep my computer, when I tried to wake the computer hardDrive I wasnot able to record or even save session, so I had to restart the computer, when restarting I was listenig to a wierd noise like cracking on & off and Desktop appears the "PTLE HardDrive" was gone, I tried anythingthing to find It, even with Norton, Doctor, Firstaid, It just does not appear.
If any of you had any similar expirience I would appreciate your help.


I'm lost

Default Re: My hard drive does not appear on desktop
The noises you described are not encouraging. Sometimes when a hard drive fails it will make noises (extra clicking etc). This has happened to me at work with my IBM laptop. I dont run PT on the IBM though. How did you connect your ATA HD? Is it external or internal? If internal: Did you add it to the extra IDE plug or did you have to add a PCI EIDE card to connect to the HD? Or is it by SCSI (skuzzy)? I added a 40gig Maxtor HD to my rev 1 G3 using an EIDE PCI card over 2 years ago w/no problems. Newer Macs come with the IDE controller that you can just plug an extra HD into. However it is connected there will be some system folder/set program that can check to see if the drive is working.

That drive may have died for some reason - I've seen it before for all kinds of reasons. I'd suggest disconnecting the music drive (both IDE & power), powering up the machine, then shutting it down & reconnecting it to see if it will redetect the drive. Then I would suggest turning off sleep.
