Second Hard Drive Issues...

I just got a 250 gb maxtor hdd (ide), so I hooked it up, moved files over, and when i went to use the files (mp3s, mpgs, avis, etc.) the audio / video is slow motion ... as if something were eating the cpu usage.

I opened the task manager, checked the processes, scanned for spyware / adware / viruses, nothing came up. I reboot the system, same thing every time a file is in use.

Could this be a power supply issue, maybe not having enough? Or did I do something wrong making the partition?

The partition was created using PartitionMagic, it simply said 239 gb was unallocated, so I made it the partition (f drive, ntfs, logical partition)

Current system has 768 mb of ram, 2.4 celeron cpu, primary hard drive is 80 gb western digital if that makes a difference. 250w power supply.

All replies are appreciated.
