An Unexpected error! Need Help Please.

[antonsvideo]

it can happen

basically, I have disabled write caching on all my drives to avoid such problems

[lauri]

When I opened up the properties on the hard drive letter E all of what I typed to you was in the policies for that drive ,so when you ask me if my E drive is the sea gate or WD ..... now I'm really confused.

By the way does it matter that I renamed the files according to your documentation on how to restore a corrupt Edius project or do I need to go back and change everything back? The only thing I lost because I deleted it was the Edius Wave.

Do I disable all 4?

[lauri]

Ok I figured it out the last 2 are my removable Drives.

WDC WD25 00JB-00EVAO SCSI Disk Device
WDC WD25 00JB-00GVCO SCSI Disk Device

One is the E drive the other is the G drive.

Now another stupid question I have is, since the writing Cache are both greyed out the instructions tell me to click the safely remove hardware in my taskbar.
But I don't have an icon there so what procedure do I follow?

I need a drink! You probably need one also after reading my posts!! lol

if you remove the E drive, it should tell you if it is Seagate or Western Digital

in any case, disable all write caches

Anton,

The writing Cache on these 2 drives are greyed out how can I disable them?
The directions say to click on safely remove hardware and I have no clue what to do.

Thanks again

what are these 2 disks? are they internal SCSI disks used for video? are they striped?

once I know, I can tell you where to go in regedit to disable caching

[lauri]

All I can tell you is that when I opened the policies and then clicked on the
volume tab and clicked populate it told me which drive it was. So both from what I can tell are my external hard drives that are used for video.

Are they striped? I have know clue what that means and is there a way for me to find out?

ok, lets make it simple

can you go to manage, disk management and make a screenshot of all drives you see and attach it here as a png or email it to anton at videoproductions.com.au

Well that didn't work!

to disable write caching when it is grayed out in Policies menu

1. start, tun, type regedit

2. expand folders as seen in following link

3. set value of each drive to 0

0 = write caching off
1 = write caching on

4. reboot when done

5. verify that write caching is no longer grayed out and is off
