pretty sure its harddrive just wanted to check what it sounds like to everyone else.
when playing music or video the playback judders like hell, basically it starts going really slow and jumpy.
im guessing its an issue with the harddrive giving up, as it seems like the same thing that happened to one of my media centres 500gig harddrives.
its not the player btw as its cccp using media player, also tried vlc.
time for a new harddrive?

run a full scandisk, and also see what your cpu usage is at during playback. it could still be something on the system affecting playback.

Same thing happened to me. The only thing that cured it was a full system restore, but I'm sure it's something to do with system resources rather than hardware - as the restore cured the problem. Hope you sort it mate.

download ubuntu live cd - its linux on a cd which you can boot into (from the cd) and test transfer rates there. That way you could eliminate either Windows or a hardware failure.
