Does anyone know if the battery being low effects the other functions of the VS-2480? I have been recording for the past few days, and when booting up I get the message that the Clock/Calendar battery is low, but I have just hit Enter, and continued on with my project. Today, I booted up, hit Enter on the battery message box, and my project came up. I decided to get rid of a few bad takes using Take Manager. When I deleted the first take I wanted to get rid off, it took longer than usual. When I selected the next one, it looked like it was working, but nothing happened. After about 15 minutes, I did a hard boot of the machine. Same battery message came up, but instead of loading the project I had been working on, it loaded a new project named "InitProject 001". When I pulled up my Project list, all my projects were listed, so I selected the one I'd been working on, and the Load Project box comes up, but no progress. After waiting about 10 minutes, I rebooted and the same thing happened. Does this have anything to do with the battery, or did my HD just S**t the bed?

Just an update - I changed the battery, fired her back up. No battery low message, and I was able to set the date and time. Unfortunately, as before, I pull up my project list OK, but when I choose a project, the progress window comes up, but it never loads. Thankfully I have backups for most of my projects as well as for my VS8F-3 card plug ins, so I have started formatting the disk. I will let you know how that goes.

Good news, if there's anyone following this thread. The formatting took about 6 hrs. and seems to have worked. I haven't done any recording yet (that'll be today) but I renamed the new project, made some Utility changes to it and stored it and it worked fine...no freezing up. Also re-installed all my VS8F-3 plug ins from my backups and that all worked as well. Sooooo- I've got my fingers crossed in hopes all is well and I can get back to recording my album!
