Re: Delayed write failed

I am having the same problem, except, I haven't re-installed XP on my system.

I have ran the diagnostic software from WD, and the program shows no errors

on the drive.

My drive is a ATA100/133, 40GB 7,200rpm with NTFS volume. Microsofts KB

showed to uncheck "Enable write caching on the disk." I followed the steps

for doing this, and found no option to turn it of on the HD in question. I

did, however, find the option for the secondary HD that is on my computer.

What other things should I be looking for?
