Movie files not played from 2nd Local Disk

Hello everyone,

I started experiencing an odd incident. My movie files from my 2nd internal hard drive (which is a physical hard drive, not a partition that contains my multimedia files) does not play anymore.

My transfer speeds are fine, and I can access my other items like my pictures, documents etc. Just not my movie files. Whenever I double click on a movie file, I see the blue progress bar slowing moving towards the right, and once it finishes, my movies still don't play...

Also, if I right click on my movies, I keep getting the spinning blue circle and then it would say "Windows not responding.." And then if I really wait, it will work for the one movie, but all the other movies won't work..I never had this happen to me...

Any help?

Hi, thanks for advice.

I already tried chkdsk and everything was normal, no failures or anything. I have access to everything else, just not my movies...

Yep, they all play..I just have to wait a long time...

Can it be a loose connector? Or a program stopping it from playing?

Tried both VLC and WMP with no success.

If I wait for the spinning blue icon to stop, then my movie works. But I have to do this for each individual movie. Which before, I play the movie and it works..

Again, all of my other files work. And my movies work, just super slow...

I am running chkdsk with "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"

Furthermore, while running chkdsk like I previously mentioned, I can not longer access my 2nd Local Disk Hard Drive. Is this normal? And in Disk Management it says I have all of the memory (442GB since it is a 500GB HDD) available..

Why does my 2nd hard drive only say NTFS now? It is still in the shkdsk stage though.

Currently, it has 131909 free clusters and counting...
