Hello,

I recently purchased a new DELL desktop that came with XP and one hard disk
only. I added second one that I used previously on my older machine running
Windows ME. I store video clips on this disk and I had no problems with the
disk on my older machine (the clips played just fine). However, playing the
clips from this disk on the XP is unsatisfactory, lot of frames are dropped.

The disk is fairly new and accidentally the primary disk that came with the
XP machine is exactly the same type/same capacity. They use the very same
driver. The only difference between the primary disk and the disk I just
added is that the primary disk uses NTFS and the second one FAT32. Could
this be the problem ?

Thanks,
Bumbrlik

Probably unrelated question - the Windows XP manual says that FAT32 support
up to 32 GB. The disk in question has 60 GB and it ran just fine on the
older machine. ???
