I'm having trouble with one of my harddrives. It keeps getting "Delayed write failed" errors. Over time the files corrupt until the point where I need to wipe and format.
I've run with the same config fine under ME, but had these problems when I upgraded to XP. Microsoft say to disable file caching on the drive, but it is on my 2nd raid channel (IDE 4 running in ATA133 mode), and file caching isn't an available option. There is no option in the BIOS to force fast writes. I have another 40GB Maxtor on my 1st RAID channel (my system disk), and it runs no worries. I'm just about out of ideas, so anyone else got some?
My setup:
P4 2.4GHz (42º load)
Gigabyte 8IHXP (i850E)
512Mb Samsung 1066Mhz RDRam
IDE 1: Master: Samsung 20Gb (boot) Slave: 100Mb ZIP
IDE 2: Master: IOMega CDRW Slave: Samsung DVD-Rom
IDE 3: ATA133 40Gb Maxtor (system)
IDE 4: ATA133 60Gb Maxtor (this is the problem)
Leadtek Ti4400 128Mb
WinXP Pro SP1
