[MacDV] final cut express and external la cie drive

[ptm at temple.edu]

Please, I'm begging.  Someone has got to be able to help me
with my La Cie drive and Final Cut Express 2.0 problem.  The
drive is USB, I followed the directions to use Mac OS X disk
utilities to initialize the drive and my eMac recognizes it.

I'm attempting to use it as the drive where all my digital
video is captured but when I changed the system preferences in
FCE from the eMac's drive to the La Cie and try to capture the
box that I would normally see the video being captured in (the
one with no sound) indicates that it is "allocating space".

I'm at my wits end, which is not far mind you.  Please, for
the love of god, someone help me out here.  What am I doing wrong?

kind regards,  PTM
