Hi. I have the AV500 60Gb version. I use the WindowsXP Windows Media Player mode as against the Hard Drive. I find the Windows Media Player operation very unsattisfactory. Can anyone tell me if it is OK to use the Hard Drive option, as I am quite used to drag and drop. It seems as if some have had problems with drives freezing etc. I would be very grateful for any replies as I am quite "nervy" about going off manufacturer's recommendations. Thanks in adavance. Dai
