Ipod Classic Delayed Write Error
Delayed Write Failed
Windows was unable to save all the data for the file x. The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere.
The iPod would lockup and I'd have to reset it to get it to work again. After some research I found the cause: Write Caching was disabled on my hard disks. Because iTunes tries to push as much data as possible as quickly as possible, Windows was unable to keep up, resulting in the error. To enable Write Caching on your hard disks: Start > Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Disk Drives > Properties > Policies > Enable Disk Caching Note that this option was unavailable to me (grayed out), and after some research I realized it was because I had the Intel Application Accelerator installed, which turns OFF write caching and prevents you from enabling it. So after a quick uninstall of Intel Application Accelerator and a quick reboot, I was able to enable Write Caching on my hard disks, and now the error is gone and my iPod is updating as expected.

I have a disabled policies tab and Intel Application Accelerator installed, and disk caching was permanently fixed to ON, the opposite of what you indicated. Disk caching can improve performance maginally; therefore, it makes more sense that it would lock the policies tab with disk caching enabled, if indeed that is what locked the page. I'll have to uninstall IAA and see what happens though. Thanks. Tim M. says: June 19, 2005 at 6:33 am Indeed, Intel Application Accelerator does remove the "enable write caching on the disk" check box just below the two removable drive options above it. Those two "removable drive" options are naturally"greyed out" because hard drives are by convention not "removable ." The confusion arises when IAA is alread

The other half, iTunes says it is unable to read the iPod. In the past, the only way I have been able to get it to get past this and sync is to re-install the software and re-format the iPod. I'm currently connecting the iPod through the firewire connection, but the problem persists when using my USB 2.0 port, as well. I recently installed SP2 for Windows XP, and now I'm having a different problem. iTunes does recognize the iPod, and it starts to sync, but after a while, it stops and I

The Master Boot Sector or some such thing on the drive is still going to make it mess up if your MOBO or Controller Card does not handle today's larger drives. 2 More things that will mess up your drive this way: 1. You upgrade ipod classic delayed to SP1 or SP2 (W2K, WXP, etc.) OR do a repair install with not only an image drive or image drives installed, but DVD region killers too!!! DVD Region Free and Any DVD by Slysoft will do this! Uninstall them, reboot your computer, make sure everything is fixed, then you can reinstall. Another one! Do a search in your Registry for " noide ", (without the quotes of course). If you find this, do a registry save, then delete the whole line with 'noide' in it. Basically now, there is a LOT of stuff you need to temporarily UNinstall BEFORE you upgrade your OS with an SP update, escpeciallly Windows XP SP2. Reinstalling them AFTER appears to work fine so far. We must have about a dozen fixes in this list of posts so far now. IMHO isepiq Want to enjoy less advertisements and more features?
