"Data corruption may occur" Warning

I get this warning (bellow) in Event Viewer under System Log. This is
started after I clicked properties in Device Manager for each of these
drives (0 = hard drive, 1 = hard drive, 2 = zip drive 250). At first I
wanted to disable write chache for zip and it did not work - you unselect it
and it comes back next time you click properties. Then I tried the same
with harddisk 1 and it worked, it is now enabled. I have not disabled
chaching for harddisk 0, never even touched it.

I agree with this warning, ok. Perhaps me checking out that option in my
zip drive woke up "Disk" process and now it informs over and over and over
again. What's up with that? How do I disable this warning, without
actually disabling write chache???

Another thing, if you have zip drive, can you disable/enable write chache,
see if it allows you to do this? How to disable write chache on a zip
drive?

Thanks in advance,


Alex
