using mac formatted disks with 7.4 drivers
Hi All,
Does anyone here use HFS+ disks to run sessions in PT 7.4. I just brought a esata drive that I formatted HFS+. I mix t my pc based 7.4 studio and layback at another studio with all mac PT rigs. My plain was to just work from one drive. bring that drive with me. I'm having soo much trouble with my rig when the drive is attached. Memory leak, drive not showing up after a restart, corrupt drive after that happens. searching the region bin takes about 5 mins a search, the relink window takes about ten min to open, ect. Without the drive, the rig doesn't have ay of these problems. So, does anyone have this working well? Best, Brandon

Re: using mac formatted disks with 7.4 drivers
What kind of system specs are you using and drive specs?
Also did you ever have any version of Mac Drive installed previously? |

Re: using mac formatted disks with 7.4 drivers
HI Gibson,
No, I've never have mac drive installed. I was actually thinking of trying mac drive 7 instead of the digi mac drive install. System in a roll my own rig with an HD 4 in it. The drive was a new g tech tb drive. Are you having good luck with mac drives used at session drives? Best, Brandon

Re: using mac formatted disks with 7.4 drivers
I have used them to run sessions in 7.3 and LE on occasion and remember it working, but initially that XP would bluescreen because I had some older 5.x version of Mac Drive installed along with Digi's HFS+ version of Mac Drive, whatever version they use. After uninstalling one or the other it started working.
Haven't tried since the 7.4 upgrade, but can try running a session all day tomorrow off an Oxford 911 HFS+ drive and will report back how it goes. Are you on HD 7.4 on what flavor of XP? |

Which eSATA drive -- I run MacDrive and it works flawlessly -- I'd suspect the eSATA connection before MacDrive.

Re: using mac formatted disks with 7.4 drivers
Did you format the Drive on a MacPro or MacPPC?
If it was on a MacPro check if the partition scheme is the GUID one. Try if possible to erase then in the partition TAB select option and select Apple Partition Map If it not a hardware fault i would suspect the partition scheme |
