Here’s a bit of an update on the situation. I tried the seperate HD to each Ribbon method by attatching each HD to it’s own ribbon with it acting as the master, and the optical drive as the slave. This gave me a big ol error warning and forced me in to safemode, so I reverted back to the original setting. I’m going to try a full re-install of premiere to see if it resets any scratchdisk settings that might be fouling up the operation. As far as Scratchdisk goes, should I try setting the scratchdisk destination on my current projects to the new larger hard drive?
I tried connecting only my original hard drive to the system, and the problem is still persisting, so that leads me to believe it is an internal Premiere error. Might this problem continue if I were to attempt to open existing projects within a newly installed premiere? Would it revert back to the old settings?
Thanks again,
TT
