I cannot make my D drive (SATA) be recognized by ProTools as an "Audio" drive, so it will NOT let me change it's status in "Workspace" to R, or Recordable. It stays as T, for tranfer. Has anyone run into this? Digidesign is saying the it's because my seial ATA controllers are set to RIAD that it's causing the issue. I've read several posts here that sound like people are able to use RAID, so I'm a little frustrated. They recommend that I send the SATA drive back and get an EIDE drive instead. Help!

Sorry for not posting my setup before: ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe MD Athlon XP3200+2.20GHZ BARTON Corsair XMS PC3200 400MHZ 1GB WESTERN DIGITAL EIDE 10GB (system drive) con. to IDE port WESTERN DIGITAL SATA 250GB (audio drive) con. to ATA serial port Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP1 ProTools LE 6.4 w/ Digi001
The exact error I get is as follows: "Audio" cannot be designated as an Audio Record volume because it is not a valid audio volume. How do you make it an "valid audio volume"?
That seems to have done the trick! I think it's pretty telling that after spending an hour on the phone Digidesign support on Friday they were not able to help me, and it took DUCee to come up with the answer. Long live the DUC! Thanks Finne.
