'Delayed Write Failed' in Windows XP SP2
After a few weeks of running SP2, 2 workstation of ours started getting the following error when it randomly tries to save data across the WAN to our NAS server.
Delayed Write Failed
Windows was unable to save all the data for the file path to files. 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.
Check KB Article 870894 for a possible solution.
Basically, it will involve some registry edits and entries ;
To work around this problem you must set CacheControl to zero: 1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\3ware Storage Controller\Cache Control
3. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
4. Type 0, and then press ENTER.
5. Quit Registry Editor
If you're suffering from the same problem, and is using a 3ware storage controller, this might work for you.
