Delayed Write Error for Windows XP SP2

Hello,

I've been using virtualbox for a while now and I am quite happy about it. I am using the version 3.2.10 vbox installed in Mac OS X Leopard. However, I am currently having some issues with my Windows XP SP2 Guest OS. I recently got this error, "Delayed Write Error Failed". It's very annoying to be honest. I have to quit and open my current application to get rid of the error.

What's happening? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Thanks a lot for the link mate. Really helpful. So it's not vbox's issue after all.

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Not to some degree no, VBox can be a cause of these type of problems but then it is related to how the Host is using its disk subsystem, ea. using disk cache options can also cause this (properties of the actual disk on the Host and the Guests).
