Why won't video play smoothly when saved on laptop Internal hard drive, but runs fine on external USB and external hard drives?
I've got a Toshiba Satellite T130-13L
running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with 4GB RAM and a Genuine Intel(R) CPU U4100 @ 1.30GHz 1.30GHz.
Graphics:
Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile
The problem I have is that videos I have downloaded from online and saved to either my C or D drive will not play smoothly on any media player I try (using latest versions of VLC and Windows Media Player, with most up to date codecs available), it will play for a few seconds, then stop, then play again. Almost as if I was buffering an online video.
Yet, when I copy the exact same file onto my Corsair 16GB USB stick, or my Western Digital Elements 1TB external hard drive, the video plays fine.
Really stuck here, I have tried looking everywhere for help. Does anyone have any ideas as to what to do?

-Solved Edit-
Solution: Chckdsk /f. Must have been some corruption?

Could you try turning off the "disable screensaver" option in VLC Media Player? Because that's an issue that causes this problem with VLC Media Player.
