Delayed Write Failed - acerFerrari3200

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
3 days ago, I've just got this pop-up saying that I'm having a "Windows - Delayed Write Failed". It slowed my notebook by a factor of 100X, everything I do (read, write, load applications) takes ages to load and constantly getting that pop up error message. My HD light blinks non-stop.

What I tried: (which didnt work)
- I tired using the recovery disk CDs that comes with the Acer notebook to reset everything to factory settings (include installing Windows and format everything). But with no hope.
-Disabling "Enable fast caching on my hard drive". Suggested by Microsoft does not help as well.

My system is:
Acer Ferrari 3200, 512 MB Ram, Windows XP Home, ATI Radeon 9700 128MB

???? Any help ???

If you've formatted the drive and re-installed windows and this error still keeps popping up, then your HD is in the process of failing if it hasn't failed already (so I'd suggest you backup all your stuff, actually back it up anyway just to be safe) or it could be your USB controller or HD controller have gone nutty. That is easy to fix, just re-install the drivers for both.

I've had this error happen to me recently when I took out a USB thumbdrive prematurely b4 verifying that there was no activity going on.
That stupid ballon pop up started coming up every 5~6 minutes or so. Annoying as hell. Re-inserting the thumbdrive didn't help any and the only way I could get rid of it was to reboot my computer.

studio54 is right, happens when you disconnect a drive without first 'removing' it.

I also got this error message a couple of times with external USB hard drives. Fixed it by reconnecting all HDD cables. Maybe there's a loose cable somewhere?

Guess what?

I went to an acer service yesterday, left my ntoebook there. Got it fixed te next day.
They ran some tests with the Hard-Disk, they said it was a Hard Disk failure. So I got it replaced with no payment at all., (was still in a warranty)...

It's all gooood..
