Unfortunately not.  That is the cache on the drive itself.  I already
have it disabled, but the problem continues.

FYI: In Linux the disk's write cache is controlled by "hdparm", not
"mount -o sync".  It is the "mount -o sync" functiionality of Linux I
am trying to duplicate in Windows XP, if possible.

Thanks
