I own a Notebook P4 Intel 2.2 512R it’s only got a 40gig HD installed, I decided to buy an external HD 160gig, I brought it installed into An INTEX External Case, Certified Hi speed USB 2.0 it's a metal case. It’s one of those you can pull out from ur Desktop to use your HD else where, now every time I go to transfer a file or files larger than 500MB or less my XP gives me this message;
(Windows - Delay Write Failed)
(Windows was unable to save all the data to H:\ "Which is one of the partitions on the 160gig" the data has been lost. Error may be caused by a failure of your hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file elsewhere) I have tried so many time to transfer to different partitions on the 160gig but still the same error. It’s driving me KOKO! I've even had the HD replaced and I still get this same message. Now I want you to know that I would Sincerely appreciate your help or if you can pass me on some details of some support team that may be able to help me!

it could be something to do with the cmos also
check lba mode etc settigs also virus protect should be disable , otherwise it keeps the mbr protected and xp cannot write to it so it gives such errors
thanks

An alternative to the other answers. This could be due to the size of your system memory, if its caching the files in RAM before moving them to the external HD via the USB Cable then you would be limited by the amount of available RAM on your system. If you have 512megs of Ram, I can see how files might not get transferred if they are around 500 megs.
Just a suggestion in case the other answers don't work =)

Plug in the drive.
My Computer, right click the drive and go to properties.
Hardware tab, select drive in list, click properties.
Click policies tab, uncheck the Enable write Caching
test it with this
tell about it
i have another solution too , if it does not work

I used to get this problem, right before my external drive failed. Since that is not the case, I would look into your USB cable, it could be as simple as a bad USB cable, I'd look there first.
However, I would have looked into getting a larger drive for your laptop, Newegg sells upgrade kits (drive sold seperately), http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817155602

Firewire would be better when transfering large files, also WHY partition the drive, just let it be.

I believe that FireWire is now being phased out in new large storage external devices.

ok attempt to pass community options on your macbook and examine out to get rid of any previous settings then try back. If no longer attempt to configure your stay field and modify WEP to the WPA2 PSK and be conscious if that enables. good success
