You may also can try first to use another set of drivers for the soundcard.
Hardware acceleration on Creative soundcards take MP3 decoding into the hardware (audio chipset does the decoding om MP3 streams instead of using a codec). Most of the AVI videos files have MP3 audio (youtube uses FLV format). Have you tested for example an MKV file (they don't have MP3 but AAC or AC3).
Hardware acceleration can be found in control panel -> sounds and audio
I can't recall exactly at this moment as I am on Windows 7, not XP.
By reloading you mean reinstalling Windows ?
The fact that the hard drive is bigger, doesn't have nothing to do.
As of the second response..I don't get what you want to say.
