DAE (-9073) error!??

[ck91]

Anyone with information on this please help. When i try to playback a recorded verse i get this message:
"DAE can't get audio from the drive(s) fast enough. Your drive may be too slow or fragmented, or a firewire drive could be having trouble due to the extra firewire bandwith or CPU load. (-9073)"
Here are the facts:
Used space on my machines hard drive= 31.1GB
Free space on my machines hard drive= 151GB
I have an external hard drive where all my session files go, I ran the disk defragmenter, disk cleanup. My question is Why am i still getting this error message when i clearly have more than enough space on both drives??? what can i do to fix this frustrating problem??

thanks in advance,
CK

ps: I've tried reducing open ended recording to 20 mins but still getting the error message.

Can you give us your machine specs (preferrably a Sandra report) and tell us which Digidesign hardware you're using, how many tracks you're trying to record/playback and what the sample rate of your session is?

Please show me where it says anything about a sandra report in this thread:

I can't because it's not in that thread, but it shouldn't take too much extrapolation to determine several places on the DUC where you can get info on downloading and running a Sandra report, including both of the Windows troubleshooting links in my signature.

I've added information to the thread you pointed to regarding Sandra.

http://brentheber.com/ check out the spanning disk with large track video
also if your pulling alot of data from as in many tracks,this can be a problem regaurdless of all the extra space you have on your drive
what kind of external drive? usb,firewire?
remove non audio (flatline) from your regions with strip silence.this does wonders
