Low disc space warning on Xpress Pro HD
We just began using Xpress Pro HD on a Dell workstation. While capturing footage for a large project we get a warning that free disc space is below the minimum. Yet when checking disks, none of the firewire drives or the system drive is close to being full.
We did allow one of the media drives to get close to full but then deleted some files. That drive now has plenty of extra room. Yet we still get the warning.
This is our first job on the Xpress. So please tell me if I should igore this warning or take it very seriously, and if so, what to do.
Thanks all.

To what resolution are you digitizing? Also, post some specs, please (memory, video card, amount and type of storage, RAM).

Computer is a Dell 670 with dual 3.0ghz Zeon processors. 2g of memory. nVida Quadro FX 1400 w/128m video card.
I’m digitizing at DV50. Using four firewire drives. Each drive shows more than three hours remaining.
I now think this may not be an Avid problem but is rather a computer (Windows XP) problem, as I’ve seen this warning shortly after booting but before Avid is launched.
So far I see no problems with Avid performance, except for that pesky little orange thing at the bottom of the screen.

A call to Dell solved the problem. A system monitoring program was pre-installed on my machine and required an update. Update has arrived and the problem is fixed.
Thanks.
