Okay so I went in and checked out everything.
I did do all of this when I first got into Damien's classes so mostly everything was set up. I did notice though a couple things!
1. I noticed under the cache tile size it was set to 1028K not 128K. So, I updated that.
2. Graphic processor: Recently I have experienced two of the little black boxes popping up. Just recently and it rarely happens, but I just wanted to throw that out there. I left it as you said to leave it.
3. Scratch disk... so right now my Mac pops up, "Macintosh HD, 32.23GB, Startup" and each drive I plug in will as well. So, in order to move it then, do I need to choose any one of my HD's to use as scratch space, or use the HD that I actively edit on? Multiple?
That makes sense. What would you recommend for solving the internal problem?
Clarification - it is set to Macintosh. When the drives get plugged in, they are not automatically checked, only the Macintosh.
