I have two Western Digital disk drives, one 120GB, the
other 200GB (both ATA 100 UDMA mode5). I have verified,
with help from WD, data integrity, speed, cabling and
connectivity on both drives.
If I install WinXP on either one drive and playback video
located on the other drive, the video is corrupted. This
only happens for .avi files >1MB. In all other cases (.avi
<1MB, .mpg, .wmv, or OS+video on same drive) video playback
is perfect.
To be more precise:
The 120GB has an 8MB buffer and reads at ~36MB/s.
The 200GB has a 2MB buffer and reads at ~42MB/s.
With OS on 120GB, video playback from 200GB has a moving
patchquilt of small predominantly pink squares and white
noise audio.
With OS on 200GB, video playback from 120GB is stop-frame
at about 2 frames/s and there is no sound.
The same thing happens when playing video using either
Windows Media Player or Adobe Premiere.
Does WinXP "characterize" the disk speed it is installed on
and assume the same speed for any other hard disk?
Any other suggestions?
