PT Not Recognizing My FW Drive ---- Please Help!

[just nick]

Hello.

So I've been using two Lacie drives (one for audio, one for backup) with no problem for months. Yesterday I defragged the drives and now PT won't open any of the sessions. It says there's a problem with the drive allocation, and then if I try to reassign the audio files to the FW drive it says it's not an audio volume. What the hell did I do?

On another note, I called Digidesign and after navigating very irritating menus a recording told me they were too busy and to f-off. THAT is irritating.

Thanks very much for any help!

Find the menu "show workspace" maybe its under windows, etc. You will see that all the drives are labeled with T, R or P . Transfer, Record, or Playback. You can change it (its alt-click or ctrl-click or right click or something) to make your FW drive "R - R". That will do the trick. it must be a Record volume. Also I disable write caching in windows and the drive is more stable.

I would give you more specifics but I am at work and not in front of PTLE right now.

That should do the trick.
