A delayed-write failure indicates that a serious disk error occurred,
and data was/were lost. Check your Windows logs, identify the
device in question, then disable delayed writes through Control
Panel for that device or its controller. Use whatever tools
are available to you to attempt to recover the data from that
disk. Identify from the logs whether it is terminally ill,
and if so, replace it, re-populating the new drive from backups.
Even if it is not terminally ill, replacing it (or at least
putting it into a RAID-0 configuration) would be wise.

Now, I am even more puzzled. The write-back caching feature was NOT enabled,
and so far as I know has never been enabled, for any of the hard drives on the
PC in question.
By default, Windows uses write caching on all drives unless explicitly
disabled. In any case, your drive would seem to be in the process of
failing. I would be proactive about replacing it.
