Harddrive conflicts!Important problem!NEED HELP!

[polaroid]

Hy!

I have the cubase 5(32VST), runing in a pentium II 400 Mhz, with 396Mb RAm, and one HD with 4Gb. My Hd was to small, so I put another with 20Gb. I have read in many audio setup helpers, that a second disk for audio recording is the best choice for me. So I bought it!

the problem:

For the test, i put a session with 20 chanels, 40 wav´s, with a perfect runing in my old HD.

So..., for a new test with the new HD, i paste the session with wav´s for that HD. A disaster!!!! Is like there is no enough buffer ...... many jumps when playing!

This isn´t right??? A second disk just for recording is the best choice, right?

I don t no how to manager this!!

Can you help me?

thanx

Sounds like Bus Mastering is not enabled on your new drive. Go to the Device Manager, find your new hard drive in the drive list, go to Properties, and make sure that the DMA box is checked. If that's not the problem, then you may have a mismatch between the two drives. You could try making the second drive the Master on the second IDE connector instead of the Slave on the first IDE connector. If you do this, make sure that Bus Mastering is turned on, as above. Windows tends to turn off Bus Mastering any time you fool around with the drive positions.
