[QUOTE="Empora, post: 850218, member: 102603"] Hi there, My first post here, unfortunately one I don't relish making. I have had my mac pro for about 6 months now, has been running nicely. Around 3 months ago I purchased a 300g Barracuda drive which I use solely for my Pro Tools (music software) projects. This too has been running great, until now. Today, turned up at my studio and the thing wouldn't boot? I tried swapping drives etc, no joy wouldn't get past the apple loading screen. I then tried leaving in just the boot disk in the slot the other pro tools drive was in originally. Sure enough it jumped into life. Ok I thought maybe the bay it was in is the issue (as the PT drive was seemingly spinning on previous attempts. Not so. After trying the drive elsewhere, same thing. I even put the main HD back in the original slot and it fires up ok. So if that didn't make much sense what I am trying to say is with the other internal drive in, the thing wont boot up, just the apple logo for a while, then it automatically tries to re-boot. I am really worried about this as the recording studio I work in is my livelihood. Any ideas as to what might be up with this would be greatly appreciated!!! PS- I would have tried disk warrior/ utility etc, only (obviously) the computer wont boot with the drive in question installed. :Oops: [/QUOTE]
