| 406795 | 2005-11-23 07:57:00 | Howdy folks, Only a small problem. I have just run Bootvis and it has reported back that "Warning. Disk write caching is disabled." Can I enable this and how? Is it important and what does it do? Cheers. |

| 406798 | 2005-11-23 08:57:00 | Is it a hard drive?? Bootvis was warning u about? Or something removable? Like a USB Key / Ipod? |

| 406799 | 2005-11-23 10:07:00 | Mmmm ... I'll have to have another look now. I presumed it was the hard drive. Is there anything is administative services to enable it? Or the registry maybe? |

| 406800 | 2005-11-23 10:25:00 | Yip. It was the hard drive. |

| 406801 | 2005-11-23 17:50:00 | Hmm. One thing you could check, is the BIOS. Look for an entry, saying something like write caching, or similar. It maybe disabled in the BIOS. Which maybe the reason, for it being disabled in windows. If u find the option in the BIOS, enable it. |
