I am trying to verify a hard drive but when I select it and attempt to verify I get an error telling me that the drive cannot be dismounted. The INFO on the drive says that it is not ejectable but I do not know if this is related.
I have a MAC G5 Quad. I run a music post-production studio on this computer and I have been having a serious *polyphony issue when playing musical samples off of it, but the CPU usage meter says less than a quarter is being used and all my RAM checks out fine. My last hope is that it is a hard drive issue... I have 8 gigs of RAM and a two 500 GIG hard drives.
* by polyphony I mean how many notes can be played at the same time based on the computers capabilities... problem i.e when I play a piano sample on my computer, notes begin to cut out and are silenced because the computer cannot handle the load. I have never had an issue ... happened suddenly in the last week.
Is it possible that my RAM is actually bad when the computer says its ok?
