Shutdown Timing Problem

[Daniel Rudy]

Like I said, periodically, I get a ballon saying that the file is corrupted.


Anyways, I uninstalled the VIA IDE driver and now the options that you
mentioned are available. I unchecked write-caching for the drive. Also,
here's what Windows sees the drive as:

Type: IDE
Transfer Mode: UDMA 5

The drive is a Seagate ST9100823A 100GB Laptop HD.

I'm going to run it with the write caching turned off. If the problem goes
away, then what can be done to fix it?

Hi,

It's a timing problem, and needs to be addressed by VIA, but in the meantime
you might look at using an older driver. UDMA5 is what you want to be using
anyways.
