Hi Steve,

Ok, thanks for the advice. Just out of curiosity why is it dangerous to use a USB?

Nevermind. Fixed the problem!

I didn’t realize that you couldn’t have more than one drive listed in the Scratch Disk Preferences. So I cleared the settings for my old drive and re-did the settings to my new drive.

Thanks so much for the help.

I think I’ll take a break, go outside and sip on some juice now, before I digitize 🙂

This might be a ridiculous question but how do I trash my FCP preferences.

Also, yes I am connected via USB. My drive is formated to Mac OS X.

I’ve been trying trying to fix this for the past 2 hours, and it just keeps wanting to find my old drive.

Ugh, if it’s not connected via USB, then how should it be connected?

Ok so now. I’ve pressed RESET SCRATCH DISK, and it takes me to the Scratch Disk menu.

I tried to set my project to my new drive, but when I click OK, it says:

One or more of your chosen scratch disks cannot be found. Please verify your current selection in the scratch disks preferences.

This is frustrating, because I thought that that’s what I just did. I checked my hard drive and it has all the folders (Audio Capture Scratch, Audio Render Files, Capture Scratch, & Render Files) set up on it. But FCP still can’t locate my drive. OH HELP.

Hope I explained this ok.

Thanks Jerry,

That helped. I’m up and running now!
