As DELL website list up the possible upgrades, they have ATA5 hard drives. As I search newegg.com, I found Hitachi's 7200 rpm ATA6 hard drive attractive. Will it be okay?

My DVD drive in my pc loads game dvd's, installs them and plays them perfectley well. But when i try to load a DVD movie it doesn't work, i have tried multiple DVD's none work but they do work on the DVD Player on my TV.

When i try to play a DVD through Windows Media Player I get the message "Windows Media Player cannot play DVD video. You might need to adjust your windows display settings...(tells how to)"
I have tried this, changing resoloution, bit depth, nothing works, my standard is 1280x1024 32bit. (I am using WMP 11)

When i try to play it through Real Player I get a completley different response of "The DVD cannot be played. Key exchange for DVD copy protection failed."


Please help me I have tried alternative media players (well, winamp...) and I am about to try PowerDVD. I have made sure that i have the right codecs for playing the movies aswell.
