\'SESSION MUST BE ON A RECORD VOLUME\' ???

When I open a New Session and allocate the session to my Audio Drive I get the following message "Session must be on a record volume". Now I understand the concept of what that means but how do I rectify the problem? I know I can record on my system drive, but what's the point of that when I have a 2nd internal Drive dedicated to recording as advised. Is it how the Drive installed? Primary, Secondary..... Please help, as I've had the program for 6 weeks and I've spent that whole time on the technical aspects, I just want to get stuck into the program and be creative. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Windows->Show Workspace (alt+;) and make sure that the drive in question has an 'R' next to it. If it has a 'T' or a 'P', click on the letter and assign it an 'R' (record). Covered on page 146 of the 6.4 reference guide.

Thanks for your advice I appreciate it, but I tried; Windows->Show Workspace (alt+;) and make sure that the drive in question has an 'R' next to it. If it has a 'T' or a 'P', click on the letter and assign it an 'R' (record). And it came up with the following; "Audio Drive" Can not be designated as an Audio Record Volume because it is not a valid audio volume.

Is the drive in question formatted as Basic or Dynamic?

It is 'Dynamic'. System drive is 'Basic'.

, thanks for that information. I thought I did my research, ignorance ain't bliss! Thanks for putting up with my crap. I wish they told me there were 2 types when I asked them to install it... One more question (sorry). Does that mean I have to replace the Drive?

No, just reformat it as basic.

I feel so stupid, and it's just the beginning......Don't suppose you live in Melbourne and give tuition. Anyway, I'm sure it was a dumb question to ask some one with your experience, but I appreciate it all the same.

Sorry, man, I'm halfway around the globe. Don't feel stupid. There are no dumb questions - if you don't know and want to; ask. The quest for knowledge is never dumb. Good places to start asking, though, are the getting started guide, the manual, and a bunch of other documents which should all be available as PDF files on your system. A lot of the questions you are going to ask (and trust me, you will have lots of questions ), are covered in those documents. Some other great places to get started: - short 'getting started' training videos. - some of the back issues have some great information in them, especially LE Bootcamp in the 2002 issues. We all started somewhere.
