"Delayed Write Failed" error message when you manage files in Windows XP

Is this coming out of nowhere, so it was working before?

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue: 1.Make sure that your UDMA hard disk controller is using an 80-wire, 40-pin cable. For information about how to do so, view the documentation that is included with your computer, or contact your UDMA hard disk controller manufacturer. Test to determine if the issue is resolved. If the issue is resolved, do not complete the remaining steps. If the issue is not resolved, go to the next step.2.Warning Do not change your BIOS settings unless you are very familiar with all the effects of changing BIOS settings.

Make sure that your BIOS settings are not configured to force faster UDMA modes. For information about how to do so, view the documentation that is included with your computer, or contact your computer manufacturer. Test to determine if the issue is resolved. If the issue is resolved, do not complete the remaining steps. If the issue is not resolved, go to the next step.3.Turn off the "Enable write caching on the disk" feature:

Note If you turn off the "Enable write caching on the disk" feature, your disk performance may decrease. Because of this, you may want to monitor system performance after you complete the following procedure. a. In Windows Explorer, right-click your hard-disk, and then click Properties.b. Click the Hardware tab. c. Click the hard disk, and then click Properties.d. Click the Policies tab. e. Click to clear the Enable write caching on the disk check box, and then click OK two times.f. Repeat steps c-e for each hard disk that is installed in your computer.

yes it was working before
I check the hard disc by using windows tools
so far it looks good no warning

Oh no I had this problem when my drive went bad. It might not be that but I wouldnt rule it out. Good luck

It would probably be a good idea to head over to the website of the manufacturer that made your drive and download their diagnostic utility to see if the drive is failing.

First off, WELCOME to HardwareLogic! We are delighted to have you here!

I would immediately back-up any data you wish to keep. Just in case it is a failing drive issue.

Now, what type of video card do you have? Did you recently update any drivers or perform any system "Tweaks?" What OS are you using?
