[QUOTE="Phil W, post: 209202, member: 57469"] Hi, Had my HTPC up and running for a few months and it worked brilliantly for its main purpose which was watching DVD 'Srunk' movies via 'MyMovies'. Then filled up the 500Gb HD and bought another one, a Samsung Spinpoint from eBuyer (500Gb again). Because I already have 2 drives in the Antec Fusion case I mounted it above the optical drive, and used a power convertor to get SATA power to it from the normal 4pin molex (its also a splitter, the other end powering the optical drive which works fine) Now the problem, I copied a whole load of material to it, I can navigate through the folders ok, but as soon as I select something it takes at least a couple of minutes to start playing!! I've tried playing the files from my desktop machine across the LAN and they load straight away (and from within the HTPC using WMP) so the issue would appear to be within MP, but I can't see any obvious setting I could have got wrong!
