This PC is used as a combination of every day use, and movie watching. Here are the specs before anyone asks:
FoxConn A7GM-S mobo
AMD Athlon X2 4850E
2GB Kingston HyperX 1066 DDR2
500GB Seagate HDD
160GB Seagate HDD
LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray HD/DVD combo drive
Lite-On DVD drive
Here are my problems. Initially this setup was strictly an HTPC/Mythbuntu build take away the 160 SG and the Lite-On, and that's what the build consisted of. Long story short, I couldn't get Mythbuntu to record consistently over firewire, so I turned it into my desktop. Before I moved this into a new case, everything worked fine, I could play Blu-Rays and HD DVD movies no issues. Now, after the move, the LG drive doesn't like Blu-ray discs, it'll play regular DVDs but if I insert a BD is locks up. If I access the drive through windows explorer, if there is anything in the drive except a BD it'll read it and play it no problems. I've used PowerDVD (came with the LG) to watch Blu-Rays before, and it worked fine before the move. Now it only plays regular DVDs, it locks up on Blu-Ray movies.
My MoBo has 6 SATA/2 ports, I'm using 4 of them, two HDDs, the LG, and an eSATA port that is on the front panel of my case. I don't remember exactly which port is going to which drive, but should that matter? Vista is up to date, I just updated PowerDVD to the newest firmware, the LG is running the most recent firmware, and I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on. Everything worked perfectly before I switched cases and added a HDD, I'm guessing that has something to do with it, but I have no idea.
Please, if anyone could at least point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
