Paul, Sounds like disk caching is on. Just right click on the hard drive in the Computer manager and select properties. In the Policies tab there is a setting to disable Cache which is normally "Optimize for Quick Removal". The default setting is "Optimize for Performance".
Registry settings are: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Esent\Global\Cache Manager\Enable Opportune Writes Assign HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE\<yourDiskName>\<serial no>\Device Parameters\Disk\UserWriteCacheSetting = 0x0 Where UserWriteCacheSetting is 0x0 or 0x1 However it is easier to do it manually as per above.

I seem to recall a registry setting that controls this. Anyone remember? BTW, does anyone have a definitive list of registry settings they recommend to clients? I know about the oplocks settings. -- Paul [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/f4e08289afd44fddb7f4d6815c8cb...@develop ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
