Delayed Write Failed

Eric:
This might be unrelated, but then again maybe not.
I only have seen the "delayed write error" once, and it was completely hardware related. We had a machine with a big drive, a 200GB Western Digital 2000JB. Code name: "drivezilla". These drives require an IDE controller with 48BIT LBA, and many motherboards are not compatible, which leads many of these drives to be shipped with a controller card that is capable of working with larger drives.
Anyway, the problem was traced to an old version of the driver that shipped with XP -- the card worked right away with the Windows driver, so we never used the one supplied with the card. All was well until the drive neared around 100GB -- then we got the "delayed write error". Searching the internet it was frequently blamed on driver incompatibilities with large drives, and a driver update fixed the problem.
As for using network storage and SolidWorks -- those that have learned that lesson the hard way will tell you to make a small investment in PDM, and don't look back. Working locally on files is not only faster, but it's it's much more secure from a data loss perspective, not to mention the benefit of saved design history. PDMWorks is a very simple tool that works well for this in smaller groups and you can be up and running for around a few thousand bucks.
Good Luck,
Todd

This may have some clues for you.
