Some third-party programs require disk write caching to be enabled or disabled. While having disk write caching enabled on computers gives them extra performance by making disk writes more efficient, it can sometimes interfere with how certain applications work on these machines. This article describes how to enable or disable disk write caching.
Enabling or Disabling Disk Write Caching In Windows XP:
1. Right-click on My Computer > Properties.
2. Switch to Hardware tab > click on Device manager button.
3. Expand Disk Drives node and then right-click the drive on which you want to enable or disable disk write caching, and then click Properties.
4. Go to Policies tab and check or uncheck the check-box with: "Enable write caching on the disk".
