Hard Drives - My internal hard drive thinks its external posted in the Hardware forums; my internal sata2 hard drive is regursting as esternal and i think it is afecting my pc speed. i dont have much experence with sata.
I apologize for my spelling....
Are you saying it's showing up in the "Safely remove hardware" dialog box in your taskbar? If so, don't worry, it's fine. All SATA drives I've used do this, unless you install the proper drivers when installing the OS, but if you haven't, there's no problem, it works like it should and has no effect on performance.

A hard drive won't cause stuttering, HDs are already the slowest part in your computer, the most you'd see is reduced load times, but it wouldn't affect how fast/well the game plays. Video stuttering is generally due to video card related issues, have you updated your drivers?
Specs of your computer would be useful, as well as what games you play and since when have you been experiencing the problems (unless it's always been like this)

suggest-- when you repost-- go into "User CP" "edit options" --scroll down the list.
List all your hardware in the spaces be sure to list the Brands and Model Numbers
-- at the top-- there is an option to "allow others to view my specs"-- click on yes.
It saves a lot of time between posts if while you check something I can go look up your motherboard manufacturer's site and read the manual.
You can also list your OS...all this is a great time-saver for us-- we can view everything quickly to refresh our memories... as we are all working multiple threads at once.
This would be automatic from that point on-- so if you have another problem six months from now-- we can instantly know what you have.
