Here are a few of the most recent. The Event No. 26's don't have any data
but you probably already knew that!

For this one it would help if you change the 'Data' from bytes to words
and
paste the result again.

| From the article: 'This error occurs when Windows is trying to commit
data

|
| Does this suggest that I might relieve the problem by just re-installing
the
| OS? That might actually be the least painful way to go as I'm not very
| knowledge in terms of hardware issues.
|
| The other article referenced seems to focus entirely on SCSI drives; the
one
| in question is IDE.

Hard to say. The final status code correlates to STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL. Since
you've ruled out the drive it might mean a controller and or controller
driver issue.

Just so you know, it apparently wasn't the hard drive at all but something
to do with the OS. As time went on, there were progressively more things
going wrong, e.g., not being able to boot the OS since a particular system
file couldn't be found.

I tried to re-format to re-install Win2K again but no boot disk could find
the hard drive so I thought it was totally hosed. Then, on a lark, I through
in the recovery disk that originally came with the machine. It was able to
re-install the original OS (WinME) without a problem. While not my favorite
OS, my mom isn't too demanding so it'll work fine. And, best of all, no more
Delayed write errors!!

Dave, thanks again for sticking with me on this!
