Audio problems with new Hard Drive

[BeerFart]

Hi,

My name is John and I'm brand new to these forums. Nice to meet you all!

I recently installed a new 250 gig internal hard drive in my desktop computer. I've got it set up as a slave to my primary 80 gig c: drive.

My question is, when playing audio (or video) files the sound from the new hard drive seems to skip here and there. The same files when played from the c: drive, play flawlessly. I've run diagnostics on the drive and everything checks out OK. Do I just have a bad hard drive, or do you think that there's another problem?

Thanks for any help you guys can give.

You might try some of the simple things first....

try another ide cable

check in bios what mode the new drive is using should be one of the udma modes. Compare to C drive settings

you might also want to check read/write speeds for both of your drives as a check for access times etc

this is freeware

Try setting the 250gig as master on the secondary controller.
