Hey all,
I got disk director so i could move a partition from my old 40gb HD to a new 160gb HD, which i did and worked fine. I loaded up the new 160 (now plugged in as master, was originally slave and the old HD is unplugged) and everything seemed ok but i did a check and it came up with errors and told me to run 'chkdsk /f' to fix them which i did and seemed to work. Anyway thats ok but im just mentioning it incase its needed. Onwards, i tried to play a dvd and windows media player just came up black and crashed,, so i tried other DVD's etc and they all did the same.
(This is where it relates to disk director) I then unplugged the new 160gb HD and plugged in the old 40GB which still has the original XP on and it works perfectly?:-\ So i put the 160 back in and tried again and the dvd's worked? Could it be a bad copy or something?, chkdsk comes up with no errors?
Any ideas?
Thanks

EDIT: Ran check partition again on the 160GB HD, it came up telling me windows found errors and i should run 'chkdsk /f' again. Seems like a bad copy
Double Edit: Everytime i run 'chkdsk /f' and then reboot and check partition again, it says no errors, but then i wait abit and connect to my network and check again and it will come up with an error and tell me to run chkdsk /f
Triple Edit: When i run a check on my original Xp partition it comes up that it has errors? should i try running 'chkdsk /f' on this? then copy it to the new HD?
