Working from two seperate hard drives...

Post by Whamdorff » Sun Mar 08, 2009 2:15 pm

I just got a new 750gb "personal media drive", the kind that slides right into an HP.. no cords no nothing. After doing so though i now am having all kinds of problems with my software. I wanted to rip each of my dvds (because of the room they need) to my new hd and work the indexing>cleaning>editng etc from my normal internal hd. However when i rip a DVD to my new drive and then run it through DGindex its get random blocks and noise throghout the footage. When i use the same process on my normal drive everything plays back just fine. Any clue if trying to work between the two hd's is whats causing my problems and/or and way to fix it some? The new hd is 7200RPM and almost feels like a waste atm...

That's really odd, never heard of such a problem before...

have you tried copying the working ones to the new drive instead of ripping it directly to the new hard drive?

Check to see if anything else is being corrupted on the new drive. It could be a driver issue.

Thank you all for the replies, its finally fixed. Turns out it was just a manufacturer error, something with the hard drive itself was bad. Got the new one in and its working great now!
