Actually, I can't get the Writeback cache to work at all. :( It won't turn off. I uncheck it, but if you check again either after reboot or right away, it is checked. As I recall I either had it working on NT4 or Win2000 before my box had to be 98 for some software I was using at the time. Is there another way to turn this off? I can get a small <30k file to write to the drive just fine. I can format the drive and delete some files fine. This is screwey.
