Can you tell what I should do in my case ,with respect to Fixparts ? Like what MBR command I should give to fix my partition table ?

I am sorry for this noob-like question , what is the difference between Deleting and Formatting my partition ? Does Deleting the partition lead to loss of data ?

The Codec for the audio was MPEG...

I get an error like XV output not initialized in Parole. Does this help in diagnosing the problem ?

No video format works perfectly. Flv doesnt work at all. In mp4 only Audio works . So I don't think the main problem is "format" specific . Looks as if some major driver is not installed at all :(...
