Disk Cache Write Disabled

[Guest Umma Gumma]

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.

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.
