Delayed write failed

[Guest Don Culp]

After I unplugged a USB hard drive, Windows displayed a dialog box:

 

Delayed Write Failed

Please try to save this file elsewhere.

OK.

 

I can't find the listed file on my original drive and I don't need it

anyway. However, the dialog box keeps popping up and insists on remaining in

the foreground. Is there any way to get rid of this dialog box without

rebooting?

 

Thanks,

Don Culp

You'll likely need tools from the controller manufacturer to do that.

David --

 

It's not a question of preventing the initial "delayed write failed"

problem. I just need a method to prevent the dialog box from popping up

again and again over the same incident -- i.e., I unplugged the USB drive

yesterday and the dialog box still pops up after I click "OK".

I know. You'll likely need tools from the controller manufacturer in order

to flush the write cache.
