Interesting. I have no Sata experience - several of my PCs have connections
for them but so far all drives are IDEs.

Thanks for the tips. I pointed my recording directory back to my main hard
drive. I'm not sure if it's a problem with my 310gig hard drive or the
SATA
controller. Sometimes, the 310g HD disappears due to hardware issues. I
move
it to a different SATA controller and did a complete check on the drive
and
it reported no errors what-so-ever.
Meanwhile, while MC was pointed to my 250 gig hard drive, things went
well.
No restarts on the recording, etc. So, it's either my 310 hard drive
that's
bad (might have to RMA since I just bought it about a week ago) or it's
the
SATA controller.
Thanks!

I'd wonder about two things..first off, you should have more than 15Gb
free
on C, as that's where Media Center puts its temporary recording files
unless
you hack the registry to send them to G. Second, what might these other
users be doing - are they logged on when a recording starts? Try not
logging
off and see if that helps...

I'm running Vista Home Premium. My setup is as follows:
AMD 4200+ X2
2 gigs RAM
ATI X1950 Pro PCI-E x16
VisionTek Xtasy Theater 550 Pro MCE Edition
250 Gig Barracuda SATA II drive - This is broken up into C, D, E and F
drives with Vista on C
310 GIG Barracuda SATA II drive - This is one drive (G) that is being
used
to store all recordings.
ASUS A8N-E Motherboard - BIOS flashed to latest version available
Using on-board audio and network card
Here is what happens. I schedule something to record. I then log out of
my
account so other people can use the machine. The recording will start,
and
then it usually stops and then it attempts to pick up again and then it
fails. I finally started a recording manually and watched to see what
would
happen. Eventually, within a few minutes, it fails and I get an error
message
in the status area stating that there was low disk space.
I've checked my settings for the recordings and it points to the G
drive,
which is the 310 gig hard drive. It's all one partition and it has over
250
gigs of free space, so I know it's not low on space. I have Media
Center
set
to use up to 270 gigs.
I know that the C drive has about 15 gigs free, so I'm not sure if it
was
running out of temp space, but I can't imagine that 15 gigs was used in
temp
space for recording a few minutes.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm confused and I'm new to Media
Center.
Thanks!
