'session Must Be On An Audio Record Volume', hard drive compatibility Options

[vinrock]

hello all

Just a quick question I'm hoping someone can help me with. Ive looked through the back postings and couldn't find any info on this.

I recently bought a new powerbook G4 1.67, 1.5 ram and installed protools le. My issue is with the external hard drive I also purchased. I was able to successfully load in old pt sessions I had on disc and open them fine, but Pro Tools will not let me save a new session to the hard drive. The hd is a Lacie 7200rpms, 800/400/usb D2 'extreme' everything is brand new out of the box.

The error message I get from Pro tools is : 'Session must be on an audio record volume'

i can save to internal HD no problem.

Do I need to change/enable settings on the hard drive? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a loss.

Thanks!

Thanks td That makes sense and I dont mean to sound like a complete dolt here, but i can't find how to open a 'workspace manager' in protools.

I do under SETUPS a 'Disk Allocation' but no matter what I do it's greyed out for me and can't click on it. I'm a long time PC guy, totally new to mac and protools. It sounds like once I can get in there and I can do what you say and be all set. Any ideas?

thanks!
