Hi Phil. Thanks very much. It's some kind of USB device and I don't know about the formatting. Somebody else took care of that and it seems to work fine.

Bob,I simply move the entire CakeWalk Projects folder over to the new drive and change the location in Sonar's global options\folders dialog to point to the new audio drive. I think there's 3 settings that I changed in the global options dialog, 2 in the folders tab, and 1 on the audio data tab. They are the settings for the projects folder, the import/export folder, and under the audio data tab, there's a setting for default audio folder as well.check it out under global options--its fairly self-explanatory.BTW: what kind of drive did you get, and did you format it for audio(cluster size of 64K instead of the windows default of 4K)? I guess the formatting isn't all that important--it supposedly only helps matters when the drive approaches its full capacity(at least that's what tech support at my vendor told me)----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Reid Info" <info@xxxxxxxxxx>To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2007 3:06 PM Subject: [ddots-l] new portable harddrive folder structure questionThanks again to those of you who advised me what to do about dropouts etc. I now have a 300 gig portable harddrive and before I start moving things around, I would like to know what most of you prefer to do. I have been storing audio in individual project folders. Is it better to put all of the audio on the new drive with the CWP files remaining under Cakewalk Projects on the main drive? I find it more organized to keep audio in project folders but then the CWP files will also be on the portable drive.
