System: Win XP Pro (SP2) All windows updates current 3.0 GHz P4 processor 2 GB RAM 3 Mounted SATA drives (500GB, 120 GB, 120GB) 4 USB Lacie 500 GB externals (only 1 currently connected) Error: windows - Delayed Write Failed windows was unable to save all the data for the file G:\$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. Have tried: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870894/en-us http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330174/en-us Have set all hard disk caching to off Optimized USB drives to 'Quick removal' Comment: As you may have guessed, this computer is used to store a large amount of imaging data. The loss of any this data is rather concerning and unexceptable. This error is triggered by doing file management (moving to, copying within or to, defragmenting, etc.) on any of the externals. Once the error is displayed, the external hard drive no longer is visible to the system, and the dialog continues to pop-up until the system is rebooted. The error occurs whenever any of the larger external hard drive files are moved. It does not seem to matter if one or all of them are connected. While this system is very new (<1 month), the same behavior and errors occurred on the previous one (similar set-up). I'm very open to suggestions/recommendations and will provide any additional information needed to fix this issue. As always, if there is a better forum to seek this answer from, I'd be happy to post my question there. Thank you, Bill D. |

Sorry, no. The error occurs while the files are still being written. The USB drive's light flickers while the files are being transferred, but does not go out (as it does when unit is run thru the Safely remove hardware sequence). It does allow us to dismount it using the safely remove USB stuff command, until it gets this error The whole system is on a filtered power supply that has an audible failure alarm. Not a peep, so I do not think it is power related.
