hi, can anyone please help me? i'm trying to open up any session that i've recently worked on and every time i try to open a session up i get errors like this:
"The original disk allocation for this session cannot be used. One or more drives could not be found or are invalid for this session. As a result, disk allocation has been modified. Would you like to verify the new disk allocation?" i have no idea why this started just a few minutes ago. Has this ever happened to anyone else out there? Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!!! |

i went and bought a new HD thinking that might be the issue and what do you know...problem solved. i'm still confused why it kept giving me these errors with the old glyph drive.

This happens a lot especially if you move sessions to and from different drives. Sometimes this happens if your drive type has been changed. In the workspace window of pro tools you can determine whether a drive is considered suitable for recording, playback or transfers. It's a very common warning with pro tools. It's important to know though because if you are working off an external drive and pro tools deems it unsuitable for recording then it will automatically allocate most likely on your internal drive somewhere. It would be hard to know you have this problem unless you tried to take your sessions that are on your external hard drive somewhere else or accidentally erase something you don't think is neccessary on your internal drive. If any of these situations occur the next time you opened your session you would probably be missing audio files.

This is fine, its not really a warning, PT checks for the drive that the last used with that session. If you have copied or moved the session to another location it will let you know that the drive allocation has changed.
this happend to me recently. as i copied some sessions from a PT HD session my band recorded, from the bands harddrive to mine. when i opened up the sessions on LE it asked me to confirm the new drive allocations and to also verify that the play back engine was no longer HD but Digi002. your sessions should still open fine. aslong as your harddrive is still connected. my harddrive goes to sleep occasionally, so check that. One last thing, be careful when you are cleaning up and moving thing around on you hardrive. try to keep files that belong to protools sessions within its seesion folder. When you a cleaning up your drives you have to be careful with what you move or delete. |
