[bulkypc07]

I have 2 HDD runnin in my computer 80GB SATA and 40GB PATA both 7200RPM, When i boot my pc a message pop like "Write delay or Delay Write", and sometin like "file blah blah blah can't be save, save somewhere else". Can anyone help me? and wait one more question before startup sometimes my PC cant read my SATA "read disk error" message appearing. Do anyone know whats goin on?

For optimal efficency your OS doesn't imediately write every file to the hard drive, but rather keeps them in a cache with the intention of saving them to the hard drive latter.

You get that error when the OS attempts to save the write cached files to the hard drive and is unable to do so for whatever reason.
