Hi. I am getting a lot of this in my Eventviewer but can't find anything online that can tell me what it mean. I tried eventid.net and google. Thanks.

looks like you have harddrive caching enable in the bios

What does that mean?

boot system into the bios. when the system first boots up look for something saying to enter setup. browse thru the different options to locate harddrive caching (enabled) then change the value to (disable) be careful not to change anything unless you know what it is or your system may not boot properly) save and exit setup and your system should boot back to windows

What does harddrive caching do?

Thanks.
