Well, I'm back - 2 days later but up and running! My problem appears to have been something in XP getting corrupted. My fix was leaving all drives and cables physically intact in my PC, and installing XP to a partition on the NEW drive. I then had to reinstall all my apps from scratch. I...

I am absolutely certain I used the "exact same" file - I kept copying it to the various drives and I did this with many files, not just one or two - the 5 files above were from my "clean USB backup" files that should not have had any corrupt files - I got rid of them once I found them. HOWEVER...

I just received this reply from the UShield tech support - "If you uninstall Universal Shield - all protection will be lost, and nobody will be "affected". Universal Shield is just a layer between the user and the system, all requests are intercepted and filtered, but real data stays...

I apologize for the delay in responding - I have spent the entire evening cleaning up my audio/video files on my NEW drive. For the description below, D1 is my system drive, D2 is my SATA and D3 is my NEW drive. In addition I have an external USB backup drive. All my drives are Western...

Well, I took the day off and spent it trying to get to the bottom of this - here's what I have: I deleted my "web" partition, created a new partition with a new drive letter "W" (I think UShield does something to the drivetable) and reformatted. I found that some mpgs that were previously...

I am now thinking this may be a software issue. I was using a product called Universal Shield (a pseudo drive encryption program) that I uninstalled about a month ago) that I used to toggle on and off when connected to the web - I am wondering if somehow my files are all carrying remanants of...

I set to Mode 4 with no difference - my 80G is set to Mode 5. Yes the model is a WDC2500JB The drive passed all the Data Lifeguard tests. I did disconnect everything last night except the new drive with the same problem. I thought it was a corrupt buffer on the drive but this is the 2nd drive...

Sorry - meant to say I created a 5G FAT32 volume - with stuttering on the video and audio with the mpg.

Yes have tried 3 different 80 wire cables - I just created a small 5 G partitio and copied a mpg to it - same result - major stuttering of video and audio of the file.

I just wanted to add that a video file copied from one of my previous drives (which plays fine) to the new drive and then from the new drive to any other of my previous drives will play fine from this final location. So it is the output from the new drive to the audio/video cards that appears...

You're right - playing a wav file in Windows Media player does the same thing - the visual jumps and the audio skips. It all appears to be happening in pulses of about 1 second apart. Winamp smooths it out somewhat - I have 2 soundcards and both give the same results. The exact same video or...

Ultra ATA - I also tried the CS jumper on both of my IDE drives. Files move back and forth between the drives but when I try to play an mpg file on the new drive, it either doesn't start or the screen fills with colored pixels and the sounds like a CD skipping and jumping - can't make out any...

In Bios I tried user defined and played with some of the settings and set back to auto detect. NTFS with varying size of partitions from 55G to the full 233G.

I exchanged the drive for another from the retailer - same model - same results. In addition, I did the following test to isolate the new drive: - Used Data LifeGuard Tools 11 to create a new boot drive from the old boot drive - completed with no errors. - Powered PC down - Disconnected old...

I currently have an 80G IDE (boot) and a 250G SATA, DVD ROM and floppy drive. I recently purchased a WDC2500JB 250G int HDD as a 3rd HDD - however, it appears to be unstable. This is the 2nd one as I returned the 1st thinking it was the HDD. It will not play video files properly - the same...
