I'm not even sure what to call this problem and I've never seen it anywhere else.
I've got 3 Western Digital hard drives, two 80gb and one 200gb. For some reason, whenever I copy a WAV or AVI file to my 200gb drive, it plays back digital garbage. These files play without any problems on the other drives. I initially thought this was a broken drive and got it replaced, but that didn't change anything. Then I thought maybe my power supply was croaking and the data was being garbled during the transfer, but replacing that with a more powerful one didn't seem to work either. I've noticed that MP3's and MPEG's don't seem to have any issues playing back, and I can even play back an AVI if it's contained within in a ZIP file. More confusing, I've just noticed that if I copy a garbled file from the 200gb BACK to the 80gb, it will play just fine!
Why can't my 200gb hard drive play AVI or WAV files?
Thanks to anyone who might know what is going on here...
