Hi there,
I have VS9 & Dell Dimension 2400 with 40GB HDD(WD), added 200GB HDD (Sea Gate) internally now my problem starts.
Video and Audio Jerking: When I capture my video via Fire wire as AVI file to my 200GB HDD, video&Audio is jerking. If I capture to my Local HDD 40GB, it is just fine. I am sure this is because of my new 200GB HDD installation.
Another test : I captured a AVI to local HDD, it works fine both capture and playback. I just moved it to 200GB now while playing back it is jerking.
200 GB HDD: Partitioned to 3 drives approx 63 GB on each with NTSC format. I am using new ribbon wire, which was supplied by my 200 GB HDD.
Please Help me.

Actually you probably have a DVD or CD rom attached to the secondary port and may not want to do that.
Your new harddisk probably isn't running at Ultra-DMA-5 mode which will cause this to happen.
You must use an 80 conductor ribbon cable to connect the drive(s).
All computers aren't the same BUT for a standard installation.
You have 2 Main IDE connectors on the motherboard.
Primary IDE Connector - Handles maximum of 2 drives (Master & Slave).
Secondary IDE Connector - Handles 2 maximum of 2 drives (usually the CD/DVD optical drives, Master & Slave).
When you installed the new drive you should have been able to connect it using the middle connector on the EXISTING 80 conductor ribbon cable. Then set the jumpering pins on both drives in the correct positions for MASTER & SLAVE configuration.
Your 40 gig Boot Drive is the MASTER and the new 200 gig drive would be the SLAVE. (Marriage)
The farthest ribbon connector should go to the 1st harddisk and that disk should be JUMPERED for MASTER.
The MIDDLE connector goes to the 2nd harddisk and that should be JUMPERED for SLAVE.
Do NOT put a dvd or cd reader/writer on the same ribbon cable as a harddisk.
I've seen Dell's come from the factory with Harddisk as MASTER and DVD drive as SLAVE. That's not a good configuration and should be changed.
If you have a hard time doing this you may need to take the machine to someone but it's very simple to install. Most people make the mistake of not jumpering the drives properly or using the wrong cable or connecting the cables in the wrong order.
Hope this helps,

These days, most IDE devices will use the "cable select" setting, in which case you don't need to bother worrying about which is the master or slave so long as you use the cable supplied with the new drive.
I sometimes have a removable drive bay hooked up to a ribbon cable that my DVD drive is on, with no problems.
You should ensure that you have DMA enabled for your drives - go into "My Computer" >> "Properties" >> "Device Manager" >> "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" and check "Properties" >> "Advanced Settings" of both the "Primary IDE Channel" and "Secondary IDE Channel" have "Transfer Mode" set to "DMA if available" for both device 0 and device 1.
Another thing to look out for is that write-caching is enabled on your drives. In Explorer, right click on "Properties" >> "Hardware" >> "Properties" >> "Policies" and make sure that "Enable write caching on the disk" is checked.
You might also download a freeware program such as Sisoft Sandra Lite (about 8.2Mb) which will enable you to test the sustained data transfer rate of your hard drives. Expect to see a figure of around 50Mb/sec for a 7200rpm drive that's set up properly. It would be interesting to know what lower figure is causing the jerkiness you report. AVI video represents approx 3.6Mb/sec.
Good luck!

Hi maddrummer3301,
sorry, I am not able to follow you.
I have installed my new HD in the following way.
Primary IDE Connector - 80 conductor ribbon cable Middle connector goes to new/slave HD, end connector goes to old/master HD.
Secondary IDE Connector - I have 2 devices, i goes to DVD burner and 2nd goes CD reader
Question is, how to configure my new HD to become secondary master?
