    "Delayed write to G:\$Mft failed" writing to external FireWire harddrive

    Hello, ALL!

    I'm trying to capture DV stream through the FireWire device.
    Since I have got the notebook computer (WinXP) with a slow harddrive I've bought:
    - PCMCIA IEEE1394a STLab C-120 card
    - Genesys external box with FireWire2IDE brige
    - SAMSUNG 160G 7200RPM harddrive with NTFS filesystem

    During the capture I have a "Delayed write to G:\$Mft failed"

    I've tried to write to the harddrive large files with on pretty high speed (even more then DV videostream bandwith ) and got no problems.

    I've tried to create a lage file on a harddrive, remove it and make defragmentation. I this case I've achieved non-fragmented 75% free MFT. And I had not problems in capturing DV stream after that.

    I think there is error in one of the drivers - problems with dynamic allocation of MFT

    Has anybody ever had such problems?

    Thaks in advance,
    George Fedotoff
