话题: "Windows Delayed Write Failed"

由于该帖子已年深日久,可能包含陈旧过时或描述错误的信息。

I recently acquired an external HDD case but I have a problem, whenever I'm copying large folder consisting mp'3 amounting to 3 GB's I get an error message "Windows Delayed Write Failed" and the process stops abruptly. Is there some core configuration that need to be done inorder to cease the occurance..THNX!!!

This error will occur if your drive is disconnected or doesn't respond anymore. Make sure you have a proper usb cable and attach everything properly. You could send the manufacturer of your drive an e-mail, about your problem.

I did some reading and the problem seems to be fixed..look what I found:

CAUSE
This issue may be caused if any of the following conditions exist:
• The "Enable write caching on the disk" feature for your disk is turned on.
• Your Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) hard disk controller is configured in either of the following ways: • You are using a 40-wire connector cable to connect the UDMA drive to the controller instead of the required 80-wire, 40-pin cable.
• Your BIOS settings are configured to force faster UDMA modes

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue:
1. Make sure that your UDMA hard disk controller is using an 80-wire, 40-pin cable. For information about how to do so, view the documentation that is included with your computer, or contact your UDMA hard disk controller manufacturer. Test to determine if the issue is resolved. If the issue is resolved, do not complete the remaining steps. If the issue is not resolved, go to the next step.
2. Warning Do not change your BIOS settings unless you are very familiar with all the effects of changing BIOS settings.

Make sure that your BIOS settings are not configured to force faster UDMA modes. For information about how to do so, view the documentation that is included with your computer, or contact your computer manufacturer. Test to determine if the issue is resolved. If the issue is resolved, do not complete the remaining steps. If the issue is not resolved, go to the next step.
3. Turn off the "Enable write caching on the disk" feature:

Note If you turn off the "Enable write caching on the disk" feature, your disk performance may decrease. Because of this, you may want to monitor system performance after you complete the following procedure. a. In Windows Explorer, right-click your hard-disk, and then click Properties.
b. Click the Hardware tab.
c. Click the hard disk, and then click Properties.
d. Click the Policies tab.
e. Click to clear the Enable write caching on the disk check box, and then click OK two times.
f. Repeat steps c-e for each hard disk that is installed in your computer.

I actually turn off the caching feature and its working perfectly thus far...keep my figures crossed.

P.S. I forgot to mention that I was using USB2.0 connectivity.

bla bla bla...
I had this problem sometime.
I had a usb 2.0 enclosure and bought a 180 gb hard disk for it.
Everything was well untill i filled 120 gb in that drive. after that, for every byte i was trying to copy i get this message.
To cut a long story short, this enclosure does not support more than 120 gb disks.
i changed to a 80 gb disk and all was well, and bought a new enclosure for the 180 gb drive.
Most new usb enclosures support up to 300-500 gb disks now.
