Event Type:   Warning

Description:
{Delayed Write Failed} Windows was unable to save all the data for the file . 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.

also I've just started to use scummvmDS(v 0.61) and he(autor) mentions something about data corruption, but only for sd users though..., and its intermitent, doesn't happen everytime, I'll try to reformat it and keep testing, I don't know how CF cards deal with bad sectors.


or maybe is because today is the 6/6/06.. and weird shit is happening.... now I'm scared

/me runs to the bathroom(yeah the bathroom is allways a safe place)

I'm not sure, but I've seen that message before when removable media is removed too quickly after copying many files.  Windows sometimes continues it's transfer process in the background even after it gives all appearances of having completed the task.  Did you reformat the CF and try again?  Delayed write can be disabled . . .

-Right-click on My Computer and choose Properties.
-Click on the Hardware tab.
-Click on the Device Manager button.
Find the device in the list, probably under "Disk Drives."
-Right-click on the device and choose Properties.
-Click on the Policies tab.
-Uncheck Enable write caching on disk.
-Click on OK.

yeah thanks for the help

write caching was allready disabled, and yes I guess I did removed the Cf from the reader to quicly, was testing scummvmDS stuff(can't get monkey island 1 cd version working with sound  ), anyway I reformated the CF and copied over all my games again, no errors this time.
