A couple days ago while I was playing back a video I recorded to AVI it started skipping both the sound and video. I also noted my computer seemed to be slowing down as well. This came out of no where mind you and I have no idea how it happened. So since I have two drives I reformatted my smaller drive which was fine and re installed windows onto it. This fixed the slow down issues with Windows itself. The I went to play another video that was still on the older larger drive. It proceeded to skip like it had before. I had an idea that maybe it was the hard drive messing up so I copied the video to the smaller recently reformatted drive. Sure enough playback was fine. Today I was copying all my music over from the old drive to the new one and noted that it was taking way longer then it should. Also I noted when going to playback the movie that played fine before on the new drive was no skipping again. Its as if the old hard drive is messing up the whole computer when its being read from even if the media is being played off of the new drive. I am really confused here and never had anything quite like this before. if anyone has any ideas please help
thanks
