Delayed write failed

[Guest]

Hi,
I am experiencing the delayed write failed for quite sometime. Am using
Toshiba laptop- Portege A100. This happened couple of weeks ago and I had to
reinstall all by using the recover cd provided by the manufacturer. After the
recovery, and installing xp sp2 and all microsoft updates (through MS update
site) and all other applications, this error has resurfaced again. This has
happened twice now after installing all again....Dont know what to do...Could
anyone help?

Error: Delayed write failed. Windows was unable to save all the data for the
file c:\windows\system32\wbem\repository\fs\index.btr. The data has been
lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or
network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhereâ€.

Similar error messages keep coming, only the file name /locations changes
(like c:\$mft etc.,). After this the system hangs/ and or if rebooted, it
fails to reboot saying: "cannot find file hal.dll, try reinstalling the same
and retry" (not the exact wording). Now am doing the recovery again but am
sure this error (delayed write failed) is going to crop up again.

Laptop- Toshiba Portege A100
Hdd Space =40 GB, no partition
OS- Win XP, SP2, all updates as of Yesterday are installed (double checked
in MS update site)
Event viewer: It shows Event id as 51, sourceisk and error as: "An error
was detected on device: \ device\harddisk\d during a paging operation". If we
go the link provided,it says no information found.

Can anybody help?

regards

Obtain a Diagostic Utility from the manufacturer of the hard drive in
the laptop and test your hard drive; it sounds like it's failing. It
couldn't hurt to also check the RAM while you're at it, but my money's
on a defective hard drive.

I am having the same problem, except, I haven't re-installed XP on my system.
I have ran the diagnostic software from WD, and the program shows no errors
on the drive.

My drive is a ATA100/133, 40GB 7,200rpm with NTFS volume. Microsofts KB
showed to uncheck "Enable write caching on the disk." I followed the steps
for doing this, and found no option to turn it of on the HD in question. I
did, however, find the option for the secondary HD that is on my computer.

What other things should I be looking for?
