Problem making SATA drive "Audio" Recordable

[homerg]

I cannot make my D drive (SATA) be recognized by ProTools as an "Audio" drive, so it will NOT let me change it's status in "Workspace" to R, or Recordable. It stays as T, for tranfer.
Has anyone run into this?
Digidesign is saying the it's because my seial ATA controllers are set to RIAD that it's causing the issue. I've read several posts here that sound like people are able to use RAID, so I'm a little frustrated. They recommend that I send the SATA drive back and get an EIDE drive instead.
Help!

What's your environment?

I'm running (note below sig) and no issues.

Sorry for not posting my setup before:
ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe
MD Athlon XP3200+2.20GHZ BARTON
Corsair XMS PC3200 400MHZ 1GB
WESTERN DIGITAL EIDE 10GB (system drive) con. to IDE port
WESTERN DIGITAL SATA 250GB (audio drive) con. to ATA serial port
Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP1
ProTools LE 6.4 w/ Digi001

The exact error I get is as follows:
"Audio" cannot be designated as an Audio Record volume because it is not a valid audio volume.

How do you make it an "valid audio volume"?

because my seial ATA controllers are set to RIAD that it's causing the issue.

But you've only got the one D: drive - RAID means using more than one physical hard drive. Definition here. How can you have RAID switched on with only the one drive? This sounds like the root of the problem, and maybe what Digi were referring to.

That seems to have done the trick!
I think it's pretty telling that after spending an hour on the phone Digidesign support on Friday they were not able to help me, and it took DUCee to come up with the answer.
Long live the DUC!
Thanks Finne.

First, don't dredge up a 10 year old thread as its probably NOT the same scenario(unless you are running a 10 year old system and software). Start a new thread. Do it in the proper section of the DUC. Include the info needed for anybody to offer any advice. Have a read here on this link in the top section of this and every DUC page
