Windows Delayed Write Failed

[Ganesh]

Hi There,

I've this error when i connect my external hdd to my laptop. It used to work
well when i had xp home , last week i installed xp pro with sp2, now the
problem started

Windows Delayed Write Failed
Windows was unable to save all the data from the file <Drive:>\$Mft. 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 elsewhere.

I also checked on the web, it seemed to be no solution yet. I tried all the
option but no luck.

any ideas?

Thanks
Ganesh

Did you click on the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon in the system tray and remove the drive prior to powering it off?
