HI, I think I'm going to have to format my computer. I keep getting
dropouts, even when recording just one audio track for only three
minutes. I thought you people would be quite knowledgeable about what
I should and shouldn't do in regards to formatting, pre, post and
during. Any advice would be gratefully received. I do use my laptop
for the internet as well as for audio use, though audio recording is
my primary function on the computer.
I am running windows XP. The first question I have is about the best
way to format the computer. I can't remember if its possible to format
within the recovery/boot CD that comes with the laptop (soney Vaio) or
from my computer. If I'm not running any programs from my D drive
which is a partition all ready set up by the makers of the laptop
which is my audio drive, is it advisable to format D as well as C or
just C and defrag D?
I'll ask more questions as and when but any extra advice would be great.
Thanks
David Eagle
