Well, running two partitions on a single physical drive is actually slower than 
just using one large partition because the head of the drive has to constantly
search back and forth between the two drives.  This could be causing your 
problems.

Phil replied: I guess you didn't manage to read his post properly smile.  He 
actually said that the second partition was empty on his hard drive.  Lets 
clarify things a bit here.  Partitioning hard drives is fine for running 
separate operating systems etc.  However, using a partitioned hard drive 
wouldn't be good for say, putting your OS on one partition and putting your 
Sonar projects on the second partition.  This is because as Gord pointed out, 
the head has to constantly move between the partitions in order to access the 
data which is held on both partitions.

      Well, you may want to give us an idea of your computer system specs which 
will help us analyze your problem.  How much memory do you have?  What kind of 
processor are you using?  And what buffer setting are you using wth your sound 
card?  ALso, do you have a dedicated hard drive for your audio?
