I cannot get the Write Caching box to stay enabled on my HD under Win2k. I have the exact same HD in a different machine and it works fine. Here are the details: Asus P5A-B Motherboard Seagate ST39140A IDE Drive NTFS File System (is that the problem??) Disk access on this machine is attrociously slow and I think this would fix it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!! Brian Peek peekb@albany.net

I just tried installing the new drivers and it still won't enable. In the event log, it says: "The driver disabled the write cache on device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0." If I dig into the directory services log, it says that NTDS General shut it down with this message: "Disk write caching on drive c: has been disabled to prevent possible data loss during system failures. " Anyone else have any ideas? It's driving me nuts!! Thanks!!! Brian peekb@albany.net
