driver disabled the write cache on device \Device\Harddisk3\DR3
i've got 3 HDDs (primary master, primary slave, third on an additional IDE channel PCI card as 1st channel, master), 1 CD-RW (secondary master), 1 DVD-Rom (secondary slave), and 1 Zip250 IDE drive (on the additional IDE channel PCI card as 2nd channel, master). When i play DVDs, and sometimes when i'm just futzing around on my pc, but mainly when i'm playing DVDs, my computer crashes...just locks and dies. when i restart and check the Event Viewer, at the exact time my computer crashed, is this entry:

now, i found at microsoft's support site that this seems to be a problem with Zip250s and WinXP. a few questions:
1) Is Harddisk3\DR3 my Zip250 or my DVD-Rom?
2) If it's my Zip250, is the only way to fix this to remove it from my pc? i checked the Zip250's properties (at the Policies tab), and the item for Enabling/Disabling write caching is greyed out because it's not supported.
3) If DR3 is my DVD-Rom, how can i prevent this error from occurring? get a different DVD-Rom? Is there a setting in gpedit.msc (group policy manager) that i can turn off write-caching for the DVD-Rom, because i can't seem to find anyplace to turn it off in the DVD-Rom properties.
thanks in advance
