Well, I had a external hard drive crash. It started making funny noises, so I moved everything over to a different External. However, I lost a couple small projects due to the drive locking up. One is since finished, the other became this long project, that I just lost. On the new drive everything was peachy until the other drive crashed for good. It seems that my computer is getting mad that it can't find it. I haven't changed anything else, and the whole system is being funny. I'm finishing up 2 projects now, and once they're done, I'm going to reinstall Windows, and start from scratch. If the problems persist I'll have to get a new system (Ouch!), but I've got to get these projects out of here before I can do anything else.

If you were working for several days on a 45 minute project, presumably you either had autosave on, or you saved earlier versions. Do a search throughout your pc for your project name, as I don't know remember the default autosave directory is. In three years of daily Premiere editing I've never managed to lose more than 30 minute's work, as there's always a backup file or earlier project version somewhere. Of course it's probably the wrong time to suggest that saving repeatedly to the same file name throughout a project isn't good practice; I normally end up with 50 to 80 project files saved for a two week project (each with 10 autosaves). Meanwhile, you say this has happened a number of times. To narrow down the problem, is it after you've added an mp3, or a large image file to the project? And what version of premiere are you using?

Write Protected, Locked or Corrupted? I am missing a 45 minute project. When I click on it, it says it is either write protected, locked, or corrupted. This is the third time this month! I have moved all of my files to a new drive and everything was working great until this. I ran Sune's -1 fix to no avail. I made a copy of the PPJ file with no luck, and I Opened a new project and imported it in which also failed? What may be happening? It wasn't so bad to edit an 8 minute clip over, but a 45 minute file???? That's 2-3 days at least!
