Well I got one problem fixed but 2 more are created.. I got all my Styles, but when I try to Load BIAB on my H drive a message at the bottom comes up saying,< Windows Delayed Write Failed. Windows was unable to save all the Data for the file H:\$Mft. The data has been lost. The error may be caused by a failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save this file e;sewhere>
Then another box comes up in the middle of my screen saying<H:\bb\bbw.EXE is not a Valid Win 32 application..

Any & all help will be greatly appreciated.. These two errors prevent BIAB from loading, so I can't even do a factory reset..

Hi John
Some time ago I had a similar error on my PC, randomly telling about problems with delayed writing to the HD. But it was not only while using BIAB. It went worse so I bought a new HD and cloned my HD to that. That annoying fault came back 2-3 weeks later! For test purpose I swapped the flat SATA cable between two of the HD’s in my PC - and I begun to get the same fault on the next drive!
A new SATA cable for 5 Euro solved my version of that problem.

Warm regards

Thanks for your reply & suggestion.. I have 2 External HD, one is a Hitachi 500 gig, with BIAB 2012.5 on it, & I don't get these messages with it.. The one I get the error messages with is an External 1 TB My Passport drive with the same BIAB 2012.5 on it

Hello John,

There is probably a bad connection between the hard disk and computer. I'm assuming that both your drives are external USB drives, is that correct? First thing to check is that the USB cable isn't loose. If that's not what it is, try swapping the USB cable from your other drive (assuming they are the same kind of cable) to see if it is a bad cable.

Another thing to do is re-seat the hard disk in the enclosure. To do this, open the enclosure (you'll likely need a very small screwdriver, or maybe not depending on your enclosure), then pull the disk from it's connection and push it back in firmly.

As well, try a different USB port... if you have a desktop PC, try using one of the ports on the back of the computer.

Since you have one working drive and one that's giving you trouble, it should be fairly easy for you to determine if is a problem with the cable, enclosure, or port. It is unlikely to be a problem with the hard disk itself in my experience.

Another possibility is that the drive isn't getting enough power. Does the drive have it's own power supply or is it powered by the USB port? If the latter, try one of the rear USB ports as mentioned above.

Thanks Andrew, I moved it to a rear port, & so far it's working..
