I know a few of us run this and it generally works very, very well. It just sits there silently doing its thing.
I bought three disks from Smartsound and one of the three would simply not load. Media looked OK, XP could copy all the files to a HDD and yet SFpro could not read the disk beyond a certain point.
After several fruitless hours and sending a report to Smartsound I realised that the drive icon had changed to indicate Macdrive had flagged it as a Mac disk. Sure enough, it was HFS+ but hang on here, if it was how could Windoz users install from it. Finally I disabled Macdrive and Restarted Windoz and presto, SFPro extracts the files into the library.
With Macdrive disabled XP reports the drive as CDFS and I can still read files from the disk. I have a funny feeling these disks are some format that has a bet both ways, not a technical analysis and I'm just glad to get this sorted and why the heck was only one disk affected anyway.
Hope this saves someone else a few grey hairs.
