Windows - Delayed Write Failed

[Guest]

I have Windows XP Pro SP2 on my internal drive and I also have an external
drive (G for keeping other files. Everytime I boot up, I get this error
message:

Windows - Delayed Write Failed

Windows was unable to save all the data for the file G:\$Mft. The data has
been losted. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware
or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.

If anyone would have a fix or suggestion, it would be much appreciated.
