The NV cache, the normal drive cache/buffer and the media? 2) When is someone going to explain what happens if a drive that has an enabled NV cache with pinned data and it is accessed by a OS that doesn't know anything about NV cache? For example: If I boot one of those 'virus scan CDs' that really runs DOS or Ecos or Linux or some other OS... What happens if the virus scanner cleans a virus from sectors that are in the NV cache? Will those sectors also be updated on the media? 3) Will drives have a jumper that will enable/disable this extreme threat to data integrity? Hale -- Hale Landis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
