Sounds like a variant of the disk-thrashing problem that occurs on many
earlier versions of Windows when many large video files are in a single
folder. The work-around for that is to disable a number of the
file-handlers so that they can't do thumbnail extraction. I don't recall
the exact procedure, but a careful web-search on the symptoms should
turn it up.
