After narrowing it down, I am having problems playing Dvd files from my new hard drive (WD320GB) after ripping. I am running XP Home SP2. Files play perfectly fine when burned to a disc on Dvd drive or when copied to old HD but stutters when viewed from new hard drive location. Anyone have ideas for me to try.
I've covered this before, you probably have a new hard drive bigger than 137 Gig which Windows with SP2 cannot properly maintain using chkdsk or even the built in defragmenter. Break that drive up into two partitions and your problem will go away.
