Ever got this when trying to save to a USB drive?

It really pisses me off when it happens.  Basically a file becomes corrupt, and, this annoying popup won't go away...

Why Windows is even using a delayed write on removable media is a mystery to me...

I know Ubuntu has delayed write.

Usually I use the "Safely Remove Hardware" option, just to make sure everything gets written safely.

yeh but xp has an integrated feature that lets you remove a flash drive safely all the time

microsoft should fix that stupid werite things its happened to me also a few times

I know this is an old post, but I thought I may as well post my experience and solution of it.

I have 2 External Hard Drives [250GB & 300GB] and sometimes, because I use them so much at the same time, it causes Delayed Writing Faliures because there isn't enough bandwidth for both to work properly at the same time. [And I can forget about Defragmentation].

A CHKDSK [Scandisk] on all drives seemed to fix everything by deleting temp files.

Drives are happy now :3

chkdisk will fix stuff if your disk becomes corrupt, but won't be able to fix problems if your files aren't being written, unfortunately...
