Christine - that doesn't sound like a rogue cookie, that's not how they usually work but can see where you are coming from. The mtf part of E:$mtf probably refers to master file table (a sort of directory of what is on the hard disk) and the E: probably refers to your slave drive. I could do with knowing what file system you have it is probably ntfs but don't worry if that sounds like double dutch - I can talk you through step by step to find out |

It says: Windows-Delayed Write Failed. Windows was unable to save all the data for the file E:/$mft. It has been lost. This maybe caused by a failure on your computer hardware or by a network connection. Please try and save the file else where. Whats it all about?? |
