hello
a recent aquisition to this studio, the hd24 has worked fine until now. i
transferred about 6 songs from drive two to drive one as i prepared to
re-format drive 2. i started out transferring one song at a time and checked my
work as i went (didn't listen to each entire track). then did the remaining 3
together as per the manual. everything seemed fine. re-formatted drive 2 for a
session friday am. sometime friday night i went back to the files i had put on
drive 1 and played them back. one song just stopped dead at 19 seconds in.
another ar 3:43, another at 2:20, etc. only one or two of the transferred songs
will now play back in their entirety. the display shows a message of "underflow
error system too slow" or "hard disk read failed". last night i recorded a new
song onto drive 1 and it seems fine. these corrupted songs are masters, can i
retrieve them? i ran the scan/recover function but it reported no
problems...any ideas/suggestions/smart remarks?
thanks, charlie

An underflow error would usually indicate that the data is fine on the
drive, but that the drive is unable to retrieve the data fast enough for
the rest of the device to play it back. It sounds like you have a
troublesome drive, not a bad HD24.

Here are some things you can try.

1) Hook the HD24 up to an ethernet and use FTP to transfer the files to
your PC. See if they are intact there.

2) Copy the songs back to drive 2. See if they work when they get back
to the original drive.

2a) Alternatively, try copying them to an entirely new drive.

3) Mount the drive in a Fireport and see if they can be read by a PC
using that technology.

You might want to join the HD24 group on Yahoo and see if anyone there
can suggest any additional techniques:

that would be a bad drive, bro. Don't blame the HD24.
