Alright, so I bought a Seagate Free Agent Go drive 320gb, but I had a laptop with a 230gb hard drive. So I opened up my free agent go drive and took the hard drive out and put it in my laptop, I then took the laptop drive and put it in the Free Agent Go enclosure.
So basically there is a Western Digital 230 gig hard drive inside of a Free Agent Go external case, that I am using to play my backups.
After some messing around I got it to work, and it now loads games just fine. So I started up Guitar Hero: World Tour and started up a song located on the disk (to see if loading was faster) and it started up, but half-way through the song the music started looping the same 2 seconds but the notes kept comming. If i press start it freezes, and when the song finishes it freezes
My guess would be that the notes load all at once from the song file on the disk (or ISO in my case) but the song it too big to load all at once to it continually pulls from the ISO to read the song, and somehow the Free Agent Go drive spin down problem is kicking in and causing the song to loop.
THis problem doesn't happen on short songs, and if I play the same song over again, it always happens in the same spot.
Assuming that the problem is the drive spinning down, how would I fix this if the drive does not have the required software on it, as it is Western Digital?
