I have bought Serial ata maxtor 6Y080MO disk and epox
kra2+ mobo. Windows 98se and XP installed fast without
problems and work fine but After i shutdown sytem at
startup i have always scandisk . I figured it out that
shutdown time is to short and data from my disks cache
arent written to disk before shutdown.
I have found patch for windows 98se and now everything is
ok.
But i can't find patch under windows XP . I have searched
registry to find something like CacheWriteDelay (as it is
under win98+patch) but it is not somethink like that.

ps. If If I chcange time to kill apps and services for
example to 30 seconds (30000 milisekonds) it doesnt make
any diffrence and system shutdown is very fast .

Please help me

Yours sincerelly Wojciech Zeman.
 
SOLUTION #1

Control panel > system > hardware > device manager

Under disk drives, select your drive
Right click, properties

Goto policies tab
remove checkmark from "enable write caching on the disk"

------

SOLUTION #2

Write a batch file or VBScript file to wait has much as
you need and then finishes the shutdown routine.
