The same thing happens in iTunes and Windows Media Player, so I don't think it's a Winamp specific problem. The info you found (thanks btw Willie ) made me think it might be a virtual memory issue for the F: drive so I increased its virtual memory to 500Mb (from nothing, it was all allocated to the C: drive before). Still no improvement.

I downloaded a utility for Quantum/Maxtor drives that will check disk integrity, so I guess I'll give that a shot. It demands that I have a formatted floppy disk in the drive before launching, and I haven't used a floppy disk in like 2 years, so I'll have to wait until I find one. What would a utility like this do though, whoreable? Will it just tell me if the drive is messed or can it actually repair it?

The only other 2 things I can really think of are switch it to the primary IDE bus or format it.
