moved external hard drive – now unable to save FCP Project!
Hi,
My external hard drive disappeared, and i was able to rebuild the directory with disk warrior. But the drive is un-usable, so it directed me to copy all files to a new drive. I’ve done that. But now, when i open a project – i cannot save it. I get the error message “specified file locked”. I have multiple projects / footage saved on this drive!
Please help?My info…

FCP 7.0.3

externals are Western Digital – My BookThank you so much for any help!

When you bought those new drives, did you reformat them? The default format they ship with is FAT32, a PC format. You need to use the Disk Utility to reformat them to MacOS Extended (journaled) before you can use them.

Hi,
I had reformated them, to Mac OS Extended (journaled). I”ve been googling
and came across the suggestion to trash my FCP preferences.
I did that, and I looks like now I am able to save the project. I hope this is all good now. Still copying all the files over. I’ve never trashed pref before, so didn’t know anything about that. Hoping for the best.
thanks for replying! -
