BIG External HDD Problem - Help needed ASAP

AFK_Matrix · 11 Feb 2006 at 00:35

Ok

I have some avi movies on one computer and they work and play fine np. Now I am wanting to use my External caddy with an 80gb seagate laptop drive in it to transfer these avi files to my other computer.

But when i have transfered them to my Seagate drive they become corrupt so I either can't actually copy them over or they copy over but refuse to play. The funny thing is i copied a folder with 3 avi's in it and 2 copied fine but one copied but refuses to play.

I am at a lose, is it worth formating the HDD and trying again?

Thanks

Is the seagate formatted FAT32?

Are your avi files over 4GB?

Ok the file sizes are from 300mb to 700mb per avi file and the file system is ntfs.

Define corrupt.
Same codecs and media player used on both PCs?
Once copied onto the external drive can the videos be played back on the source PC?
