Windows Delayed Write Failure..HELP!

[njayj]

I recently purchased a 200GB DiamondMax 10 Hard Drive which I then put inside a casing which I bought seperatly (Prolific PL3507).

I've connected it using the firewire cable to my internal card. When I get access to the hard drive (which is not that often, it keeps crashing), I keep getting a 'delayed write failure' error.

I've got a fresh installation of windows xp professional as well as all updates (SP2).

I've tried updating my Firmware (http://member.newsguy.com/%7Esiccos/PL3507%20Firmware.htm) from the site but the program can't connect to the harddrive.

I'de appreciate any help, I haven't lost any data, but at the same time can't access the data.

Thanks

You either got a driver problem or a case problem, cos not all external enclosures are worth the money and some have incompatibility issues with some drives....
