Re: [Avid-L2] write permissions for Avid media drive

That's a good idea. I'll give that a shot. Of course, you shouldn't NEED to do that, but any port in a storm

If you are trying to use this as an avid media drive,
Copy an existing Avid MediaFiles folder from another writable drive to the problem drive (it can be just a single imported graphic or audio file.. just needs a valid media database).

Now avid will see and write to the drive. This has worked for me in the past. Have no idea what is the underlying issue.

Hi Steve,

A long time ago I would have trashed the MC State, do a safe boot and zap the Pram. As you know, this use to fix many minor issues.
Maybe this can still help.
