Hallo
First of all greetings to you all, as you can see I’m new in here, but I do hope that there is someone in here that can help me.
I have an older computer, so when I bought a new hard drive I also bought a PCI controller so I could buy a SATA hard drive.
My problem is this.
To transfer files to and from the disk no problem.
Browsing the HD when I had some files there seemed ok, I couldn’t notice any problems.
But when I try to watch a small movie in DivX on that drive, my computer freeze so I have to reboot. I have tried the same movie file on my other drive, and it opens and plays perfect.
The controller I bought is this:

The hard drive I bought is this one:
http://www.samsung.com/Products/Har...es/HardDiskDrive_SpinPointTSeries_HD401LJ.asp
It’s formatted as standard. I haven’t any partition on it, its just on big disk of 400 GB.
It’s a jumper back on the hard drive that in some rare cases have to be used.
It’s a SATA 1.5GB/s speed limit jumper setting (Only for SATA 3,0GB/s products)
Well I tried this jumper, then my computer freeze right away when I opened my new HD.’
I hope someone can help me out.
Regards
Thomas
