Sample Cell Crash!!!!

[gqkelly]

Please let me know if ANYBODY is having a problem with Sample Cell II crashing after you have backed up a file (saved with all the sounds to respective folders)and then moved it off of your HD. Upon restoring the files (along with respective samples) whenever I try to open up a file, SC will tell me that it has "Found the sample in another location, would you like for me to retrieve it?" and when I say yes, it proceeds to try and load... and right in the middle of loading the samples and instruments, POW!!! Not only does Sample Cell crash, but it locks up the whole G3 Minitower!!! I have had this problem more than once, and it really is annoying, as I cannot open a file to work on. Is there a way to save a bank, instruments, and samples in a way that you can back up your HD, then replace them in another location on the HD, open up the file and not have the program, or whole computer crash!??? Please help, as I really need to open this file!!!!!

This has come up before and the 'usual' cause is drives that have format problems. Try using Tech Tool or Norton Disk Doctor to scan your HDs. If the backup was created by burning a CD of the HD, check that as well.

Things to look out for:
MDB errors
Volume Bit-Map errors
Catalog B-tree errors.

If you find any of these, have the utility fix the errors and try again.

Do I have to De-Authorize ProTools "Key" each time I run Norton, or Techtools HD scan?

If you are using Pro Tools 4.0 or higher then no, removing the key isn't necessary.
