   Hello all,   
      
   I've got an old XP sp3 machine (single core) which contains a number of   
   movies that I would like to copy to an external USB harddisk.   
      
   The problem is that no matter what I try I get an "delayed write" error. :-(   
      
   I've tried to copy using a commandline program as well as "file explorer",   
   and have tried a (nowerdays) standard USB drive as well as an old powered   
   one.   
      
   I've also googled for a solution (like disabeling the indexing service for   
   the drive), but did not find one which solved the problem.   
      
   Ah yeah, the drive is configured for "fast removal" (no buffering - but than   
   what is the "delayed write" all about ?).   
      
   Also, the 'puter pretty-much stops responding to either mouse or keyboard -   
   even after the the error is thrown (It also refuses to shut down and I have   
   to do it the hard way).   
      
   Question : What, on the XPsp3 computers side (which I now start to suspect)   
   might be causing the problem and how to I fix it ?   
      
   Regards,   
   Rudy Wieser
