Windows-Delayed Write Failed
I have a external harddrive and whenever i try and put a file,such as a movie
from my computer to the external harddrive,it seems like it works.But later on it says "windows-Delayed Write Failed" on the bottom right of the screen,sometimes popping up many times. I went to KB Article Number(s): 908673 which is where i can download a microsoft hotfix ,which has helped some people with this problem.But i get the email, i download it and when im installing it ,it starts extracting and an error comes up saying"The system cannot find the file specified".When that happens the Windows Delayed write failed thing pops up again Ive tried so much that people say what to do on the internet its becoming very frustrating I have windows xp |

Windows-Delayed Write Failed
You need to check the Policies of the external hard drive. There
are two operating modes, Optimize for Quick Removal or the Optimize for Speed. That 2nd mode enables Write Caching on the drive. Most situations you'd want to use Quick Removal. You should know that USB drives are slow. Most cannot reach or exceed 30-Megabytes per Second transfer rates. Also if the Root Hub is heavily loaded the drive's performance will suffer even more. USB is convenient, but not by any measure very fast. At least not until the new USB 3.0 becomes available. "Jason" wrote in message ...
