Okay i used to be able to play games off hd fine, then all of the sudden they lagged or didnt even boot up, so i thought it was the original HD, so i upgraded to a new seagate, and i get the same thing, games lag althought a little less, and some dont even boot up or take a super long time to load. Sometimes ill get a compnay logo, and it goes black....so anyone know how i could speed things up, or atleast what could possibly be causing it? Thanks

Have you tried clearing your cache and x,y,z partition's?

bad IDE cable or connections.

The cache is only x,y,z right? Cause those are cleared unsure if udata and tdata are cache too? those have alot of files though.





Could you elaborate on the bad connections?
Will any IDE cable be good, if that indeed is my problem?

Thanks for the speedy replies

I tried link from Infernos' sig about removing unwatned files but it was down

I put in an new IDE cable and its still the same...Since the DVD-rom always worked fine, i dunno why it would be the harddrive as its a new seagate i just put in last week ( although i had lag problems whith the original harddrive too)

DO NOT DELETE UDATA & TDATA! unless you want to lose custom soundtracks and ALL gamesaves. The only cache that is on your HDD is anything in the x, y, and z drives, and also a folder called CACHE on the E drive.

Don't worry i didn't

Anyone have similar problems where games of dvd worked fine, but from HD they lagged?
