Can I run a Pro Tools LE session from a USB drive? Is it the same as running it from an external hard drive?

In other words, if I have a Pro Tools LE session saved on a USB drive (aka "flash drive"), will I have any processing problems if I try to run it (versus running the session from an external hard drive)?

Answer
A USB drive is a an external drive... BUT, it depends on what version of USB it is. Most of the flash drives are a little slower than the external drives which operate on USB 2.0 - so you may experience some latency. If you're running Pro Tools, the ideal way to record your sessions is to put it on an external drive through FIREWIRE instead of USB - since firewire is faster and more dependable.

Also, you should seriously consider joining a community like http://www.audioneeds.com - it's a great forum filled with sound engineers that are always asking and answering questions and discussing techniques in mixing and recording. I think it'll help you a lot since you are interested in recording so much. :)

How do I access a partition on an external hard drive that I can't access?

I have a 160gb external hard drive that only shows 31gb when I go to its properties. I have partitioned it out and still can't get all 160gb to show up.

Answer
Use XP's built in partition management

Using win xp pro , not sure if it works in home tho - Start - Control Pannel - Performance and Matience - Administrative Tools - Computer Management - under "Storage" select "Computer Management".

From there you can create or delete partitions and or logical drives etc till your heart's content
