Guest Umma Gumma Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I have a boot problem with my PC -- an HP Pavilion with XP SP2 (and updates -- come on SP3!) on a 80Gig HDD and a 2.2Gighertz Celeron with .5Gig RAM. So I downloaded and ran Bootvis. I get ... disk cache write disabled...and I have NO idea what that means. Can anyone help? Thanks. -- entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem
Guest Rey Santos Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 RE: Disk Cache Write Disabled Not sure about this but if you check like I did after using BootVis "Enable write catching on disk" is checked. So its enabled not disabled contrary to the warning. How to see: 1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2. Click the Hardware tab. 3. Click Device Manager Button. 4. Click the plus sign (+) next to the Disk Drives branch to expand it. 5. Right-click the drive, and then click Properties. 6. Click the Policies tab. 7. Mine the Write Cache Enabled check box is checked.

This message appears when there is a third-party bus driver installed (Intel Application Accelerator, VIA or similar). No need to worry. -- d-d
