hi
i have been having some trouble with my digi001/protools Le system and was wondering if anybody could help...was working on my g4 and the finder application froze and i had to manually shut down the computer...the next time started up the computer all i got was a blinking question mark...looked in the manual and found that i had to boot from the system disk, which i did but protools was gone...i bought norton utilities and it found protools again but it can`t find DAE...fast find can find the DAE folder but when i try to open it it says it can`t find something called "MultiShellCode" - anyone know anything about that? i`m a little bit disappointed with the system cos i thought that even if the computer did crash i wouldn`t lose access to protools itself... I`d really like to avoid this in the future - does anyone have any advice for me? thanks for any help... ted |

QUOTE (tedretro @ Aug 5 2002, 01:15) ...all this stuff was still on the main HD....is that enough info? ted Not sure...If, as you say, "stuffs" were still on the main HD...then it wasn't lost...at all...they were exactly where they're supposed to be(?...)...Was the DAE folder still in the System folder?... Are you sure that all you've lost during the process is not just the alias created for PT (that's usually automaticaly created on the desktop during installation...)?... Regarding the "blinking question mark" problem, it's not really directly related to a drive trouble (well it might also be) but means that the Mac can't find the System folder!!! The cause for this can be multiple and are indeed often related to the drive hosting the system folder (though I've once witnessed this problem in a studio I was working in...an assistant had put the system folder in the trash...and had emptied it ...). Would you happen to have SCSI drive connected to the Mac?... -------------------- |
