Hi guys,
so I've finally managed to install a fresh WinXP on one of my two SATA drives (brand new ones) and I've run into some problems again:|
When booting up this morning I got this message on the logon screen:
"WINDOWS DELAYED WRITE FAILED." Windows was unable to save all the file data for the file E:/$mft. The data has been lost, it then goes on to say that this may be caused by a hardware or network failure etc etc."
I kept clicking OK, got a bunch of those messages for various files and I had to reboot as I was pretty sure the system wouldn't run properly. The next boot up was flawless and the system was running stable without any problems.
So the question is, what the hell is going on? I'm pretty sure the drives are ok and healthy, so it's either the coms between the drives and the mobo, the mobo itself (SATA controller?) or WinXP acting up. Anyone ever had a similar problem? The SATA drives are running in JBOD mode, so it's not a RAID, just single drives.
Regards,
