Error "Windows - Delayed Write Failed"

[Guest]

I think that when Windows start up that it tries writing things to the
registry but it can't and now I am stuck with 100's of these error screens
displaying "Windows - Delayed Write Failed"

Try the following:-
Right click on My Computer|Properties|Hardware|Device Manager|Select the
Disk Drive|Properties|Polices}Uncheck the box against 'Enable write
caching on the disk'|Ok.
See if this helps.

Hi,

Do the error messages appear at boot or shutdown? Usually that error
indicates a problem with the write caching associated with a shut down of
the system.
