Recording and Playback from HFS+
Drives on Windows
Windows XP supports recording and playback
of sessions directly from Mac-formatted (HFS+)
drives using either the Digidesign HFS+ Disk
Support option or the MacDrive software appli-
cation.
When using either the Digidesign HFS+ Disk
Support option or MacDrive for recording and
playback on a Windows system, the session file
and all audio files must be stored on Mac-for-
matted (HFS+) drives. Recording and playback
of a session from a mixture of Windows- and
Mac-formatted drives is not supported.
To record or play back from HFS+ drives with
Windows using MacDrive:
1 In Windows, go to the MacDrive Control
Panel.
2 Choose Options > File Names and select the
“International Use” option.
3 Delete all options listed under “File Name
Maps.”
4 In Pro Tools, choose Window > Workspace
and make sure that all Mac-formatted volumes
are set to R (record) or P (playback) in the A (Au-
dio) and V (Video) columns.
