250GB Hard Drive files corrupt (or not)
I Installed a 250 GB harddrive on a Windows XP SP1 PC. When I copy AVI files
to the drive and try to play them all I see is rubbish. When I copy them back to another drive, they play back OK!!. Doing the same with WMV files, causes no problems at all. Motherboard, BIOS and Windows support HD's larger then 137 GB. Any idea anyone?? |

Yes, XP with SP supports drives that big provided your motherboard does.

At a guess it will be DivX, that came out well after XP, and now popular.
