    External drive-  In fact I do have an old external USB drive. It is a PATA drive in an external case.  I can try.

    That’ll work for the test, I’ve used USB 2.0 and Firewire drives as recording destinations in Vista without issue. If they playback fine then it’s issue with the controller on the Mobo. Another driver card such as the Silicon Image or the RocketRaid (you can get those with a Sans Digital Tower) will give you eSata performance that will work without the stall issue. Just stay away from the RocketRaid 2314. The RR622 and the Sil3132 run in a PCIex1 slot and recognize the port multiplier in the Sans Digital tower so the two ports on the card (each has two eSata ports) will give you access to 8 to 10 drives. (Sans Digital has 4, and 5 drive towers that can be set as JBOD, Raid 0 to Raid 5.)
