Is the hard drive internal or external? If it's external, is it USB or Firewire? Pro Tools won't work off of a drive on a slower connection like USB.

thanks Roger,
Sorry for the lack of info, it's external and yes it is usb, so I guess your saying this is a no go? I have to get a firewire then? Thanks. Tom

On top of that, are you on a mac or pc? If it's a mac, make sure you reformat it as "Journaled Extended".
If you're on a pc make sure it's NTFS.
USB 2 will work, just not as well and with the occasional problems. I wouldn't recommend USB.

Go into the disk utility or something menu within pro tools and tell PT you want to be able to record onto said drive. I know this is vague, but I don't remember the exact menu within PT.
