Protools HELP!!! Now

**James 'LA' Lugo** · 6th February 2007, 02:03 AM

A client brought over a corrupt hard drive and it's done something to my system. I can't save any more it says 'NeoAccess Error'. HELP now!!!!

Here's what I found from:
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may0...rotoolsbad.htm

"This error can come up when you are trying to save a Session. The short term fix is to Save Session Copy on another drive. It is usually caused by a corrupted Digidesign Database. Locate the Digidesign Databases folders at the root level of each drive and delete the volume.ddb file. Also, try deleting the Database files located in /Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Database/Volumes."

Hope it helps. Good luck!

James, someone on the DUC recently had this exact same problem - I would head over there and do some searching.

I think Jason's post above should solve this.

Ahh, the dreaded "NeoAccess Error" It took us days on that one. Yep CatapultJ has the fix. I also seem to remember something about asigning the drive from "read only" to "read/write" I think thats the culprit. Good luck.

Sometimes just trashing the digi databases can fix that as well.
