I recently purchased a new Seagate Baracuda 7200.10 160Gb hard drive to act as a data drive in my old computer. The intention is to move all my media and documents to it and then buy a new hard drive to be my new master drive with all my programs.
Yes, I am aware that 160Gb is small for a data drive, but I don't really have much media. I delete things that I no longer need.
Anyway, I attempted to run a video from the slave drive and the audio that accompanies it. The sound came out very choppy and unwatchable. The files were fine on my original hard drive, and if I move them back, they are fine. So why do they not work properly when played from my new drive? If anybody has some insight on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Is the drive SATA or PATA (regular IDE). If it's PATA then are you using an ATA133 cable or an ATA33 cable? (the ATA133 cable has smaller wires in the ribbon and more of them).
