hi,

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Disk
Event Category: None
Event ID: 32
Date: 2003/09/12
Time: 09:13:47
User: N/A
Computer: COMPUTERNAME
Description:
The driver detected that the device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 has its write cache enabled. Data corruption may occur.

does this mean my hard drive is dying? what does write cache enabled do?

also i get event id 51.

what is this? microsoft has a whole article (kb244780) teaching you how to decode the message but it doesn't make any sense to me. can someone give me a hint?

thanks
