Hello all,

I'm using an ancient Pro Tools 4 TDM system, running on a Mac 8100/110
with a 2GB Seagate Cheetah hard disk, mostly for two-track mastering.

The problem is that I get a lot of Digidesign SCSI Bus errors, usually
telling me my hard disk is too slow or fragmented. Usually this
crashes the system, forcing me to reboot.

I don't think the Cheetah is slow (it's state of the art for the time
the system was new), and the files are definitely not fragmented. This
happens especially when I'm working with big stereo files (say, 30
minutes long).

Can anyone suggest a fix (other than junking the system for something
more recent)? I'm wondering whether I can reformat the disk using
different settings, or something like that.

Please reply to .

Thanks,
Ted
