Hi,
I have Cool Edit Pro 2.1 loaded on my C drive, and the audio
files are on a separate D drive. After editing for a while, the D
drive says 'device not ready' and I get a bluescreen.
I can go into the Windows Explorer and click on the directory
tree, and some of the tree branches will open, and some will
give the 'retry' error. If I try to run Norton from Windows,
I get a 'drive is not configured correctly' and it cannot scan
the D drive.
After shutting down and waiting a few hours, I reboot and everything is
fine.
Norton does its little 'scantest' and the D drive is back again.
This never happened until I started streaming audio from the drive.
This only seems to happen after I have been editing for an hour or so.
---
What I am wondering is, and hopefully someone will have a clue:
a. Is this a temperature issue with the drive? It passes the Norton tests
fine. If it is a temperature issue, can I fix it somehow? I have a fairly
large Antec case that has three fans in it. I have 4 drives in the case.
There is a drive selector with three boot drives, and then the big
D data drive is below them. I think all of them spin up even though
you can only boot to one of the three at a time.
b. Does Cool Edit have a history of a 'lockup' bug? Would the adobe
auditon upgrade fix it perhaps?
c. If the drive simply cannot handle the work, I have a Western Digital
USB 2.0 drive and a 2.0 port. Is that considered fast enough for audio?
