I've got a couple of WD1600jb drives that I purchased some time ago
to use as audio drives for Paris, running under win98.
I had no problems formatting them, but soon after commencing a job,
all hell broke loose. Cross-linked files everywhere.
I pulled the first and tried the second...same thing.
Never had this problem with any 120gb drives.
Is there something I am missing? Does 98 not like anything above
120gb? I have since used one of the drives in my cubase box
running XP, and there's no sign of any problems.
I hope I don't have to stick to 120's for my remaining Paris
years.
Thanks
Kimgoing from memory, I think there has to be a patch applied that you can get
from microsoft for 98 to handle that size drive.
http://support.microsoft.com
search the knowledge base and see if I remember correctly for it.

FAT32: This file system supports drives that are up to 2 terabytes in size
and stores files on smaller sections of the hard disk than the FAT16 file
system does. This results in more free space on the hard disk. The FAT32
file system does not support drives that are smaller than 512 MB.For

>Thanks, Aaron.
I'll look into it tomorrow, as I need to head off now.
The mobo is an Asus P4PE.
The Bios seemed happy enough with the drives.
I shall probably be switching shortly to the Gigabyte KNS Ultra,
on Kim's recommendation.

Nearly a whole world too have sent messages about helping hands. As I've
seen in Scandinavian news, about all American political enemies like Cuba,
Iran etc. have showed up and wanna give their helping hands too. When
natural catastrophes like these are showing up around the world, it showes
really well that there's no difference at all in the soul between the people
of the world.

remember. I think "fat32" first showed up in Win98 second edition or WinME.
Hope this can help you to find out more about the problem.

It has 5 PCI slots, Firewire, 2 pairs of SATA ports plus a prim and sec IDE,
built in audio with COAX and Optical digital outs and some silly number of
channels of analog if you care.
I'm pretty sure there are variants with PCI express, and different feature
sets. For what I wanted this one was the ultimate, and I can't imagine you'd
find a better suited board in the giga range unless you wanted less features,
but at $149 you can turn things off in the BIOS if you don't want them.
Cheers,
Kim.

e across as that bigger Nazi? ;o) Your post is incredibly
positive and warm hearted in nature. If it turns to political arguments I'll
be amazed and dissapointed, and it's certainly clear that that wasn't your
intention.
I'm touched by your story. It is very warming to hear of the efforts people
are going to.
Cheers,
Kim.It's seems to be nearly similar to the Asus A8V Deluxe board I have ordered
and will get in about a week or so.
http://no.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=238& amp;l1=3&l2=15&l3=0
I've changed my order for the processor to an AMD64 X2 3800 dual core so I'm
really curious on what will happen when testing out.
http://www.techreport.com/reviews/2005q3/athlon64-x2-3800/in dex.x?pg=1
I think the only differenc is the new Firewire-B port on K8NS Ultra 939 and
the geforce 3 chipset, where A8V Deluxe is using normal Firewire and VIA
K8T800Pro chipset.
I will test it with Paris too but I don't know how the chipset will work
with ME yet.

Erling

sorts of drivers and crap onto your
computer. I experienced this after buying Babyface "grown and sexy". The
main culprit for my stuttering Fireface was a driver named sbcphid.sys. I
found this out by finding the following link.
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~jhalderm/cd3/
This driver is designed to prevent unauthorized copying of audio CDs using
personal computers. MediaMax interferes with audio copying by installing a
device driver the first time software from the CD is executed. It's
supposed to make the ripped tracks stutter thus leaving them unusable. On
my system it also made my Fireface driver crazy. I couldn't even play my
older cd's which I bought without skips and stutters. To make a long story
short I had to get a link from the SunnComm Technologies that uninstalled
the software and then (They didn't tell me this) delete the sbcphid.sys
driver from my device manager which the uninstall left behind. This file is
hidden so you have to select the view hidden devices option in the device
manager window. MediaMax and similar copy-prevention systems are
irreparably flawed and believe record companies should find more
customer-friendly alternatives for reducing infringement. I hope this helps
anyone else having problems similar to mine.<
Just a heads up guys.I've been mixing a project here that was recorded for a new client. He just
means it to be a demo and so in the interest of getting this done quickly,
we didn't isolate the singer. He's got a very dull and honky midrange that
is bleeding all over the tracks (*all* of them). Normally, on something like
this I would do a little cutting at 400Hz to carve out the cardboard, then
a tiny boost at 3kHz for a little clarity while softening up the 5kHz range
with a little 2.5 octave cut bringing it up to a tiny peak at 7kHz tjust to
get some definition. If I solo the track, this works fine and it smooth out
the voice....on the solo track.
Problem is, it;'s all over the dobro, mandolin and doublebass and guitar.
Carving his voice out of all these instruments basically kills the mix.
There are also phasing issues because the instrument mics are, in every
case, at least 10 ft. and in the case of the dobro, 20' away from the
singer. It's not really a problem with instruments being that far separated
from each other, but with a singer, it's killin me.
WTF was I thinking letting them do this? I should have shot the producer,
stolen his money and paid myself for another day of time for overdubs.
I was hoping to do a better mix with some extreme cuts and marginal boosts
to certain instruments but this (especially boosting the dobro freqs so that
they cut through the mix) really aggravates the worst frequencies in the
vocal bleed.
I'll get an acceptable mix out of this using very slight cuts and panning,
but it's never going to sparkle and I'm not going to *wow* anyone with it.
That's a shame. the instruments are really well played and I'd just love to
create a *radio ready* situation for them ;o)
Well......it was their decision to do it this way in the interest of time. I
just hate that sometimes when all of a sudden I get into a demo session and
the players just absolutely *KILL* they are so good. This is one of those
situations.
I'm sure I'll be able to polish it up with a bit of EQ and gentle
compression on the mix bus but the phasing of the vocal is still going to be
there to a small degree.
;oPHave you tried to que the vocal up against, one track at a time, let's say..
dobro track.. out of phase until it cancels the most? Then render the
dobro.. lather, rinse, repeat for the worst tracks. Too much of this could
cause all kinds of phase nightmares, but it might enable you to clean off
enough funk to deal with the mix tones.

>Right after I posted this I found the *major* culprit. The vocal frequencies
in the doublebass were absolutely the problem. Luckily, there's lots of room
for surgery in the upper midrange of a doublebass, especially in the contest
of a mix. I did some major carving. Cleaned it right up. I'm back to doing
my other little tweaks that I wanted to do (in a bit more conservative
manner) and things are holding together.
Thanks for your thoughts. I must have been readin'yo'mind.
