Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - New Data HD plays video poorly (Resolved)

IcyManipulator · 05-29-2007, 06:08 PM

I recently purchased a new Seagate Baracuda 7200.10 160Gb hard drive to act as a slave 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 to eventually swap into a new computer.

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.
