firewire drive issues

[zenmaster]

i keep getting a DAE error -9035 in Pro Tools every time i try to play a particular project off of my firewire drive. there are only 12 tracks on it so far, but i have other projects on the drive that have 30+ tracks that play fine. The weird thing is, if i drag the project folder to the Mac desktop it works just fine. Deleting the folder from the firewire drive and putting it back on the drive does no good, so it's gotta be something in the project itself, not a hard drive issue.

What is this error and what does it mean? i'm pulling my hair out (well...if i had hair) having to transfer 3+ gigs to the desktop and back everytime i work on this project. anybody have any ideas?

Here's one possible answer from Digidesign. Hope this helps...

You will encounter a 9035 error when opening Pro Tools sessions or media files residing on an HFS formatted hard drive, if the file names contain international characters (any characters in the Extended ASCII set). You should transfer any Pro Tools files from the HFS volume by opening them in Pro Tools 6.0, and then using Save Session Copy In... to save a copy to an HFS+ formatted hard drive. Files can also be copied from an HFS volume to an HFS+ volume in the Finder. However, in order to use these files in Pro Tools 6.0, you must first remove the original HFS files from your system, either by deleting the files from the HFS volume, or by unmounting the HFS volume.

so is it possible that because my filename contains a "/" (it's has the date in mm/dd format) on the firewire drive, it won't play back correctly?

Yup. I don't use those characters. I just for instance use 1tpt0224 or something to that effect.
If you didn't format the drive when you received it, it's possible the factory formatted it as HFS ranther than HFS+ as David suggests PT requires.
