I just got my ATI Radeon 9600 Pro today. After I put in the card, my windows xp system keeps saying "delayed write failure", having trouble access hard drives. And every time reboot, it keeps checking all hard drives before entering windows, which doesn't work anyway (delayed write error).

I even thought about reinstall windows XP, but when in the only option for installation is to format first (saying something that HD read error). But once I put back my old video card, everything works fine again.

Have any solution for it? (best without clean windows reinstallation)

Not really a solution, I'll add a question.
Is it possible that after you connect the Radeon on a comp with an inadequate PSU that your hard drives would not get enough power thus having errors like this?

I guess I'll answer my own question then.
I searched through the forum, found that: "Disable large system cache if its enabled. In the advanced system properties. Performance settings advanced set memory usage to programs."
So it seems more likely a system resource problem.

But still, every time entering windows, it still keeps checking my HDs.

Is there any way to stop this nonsense checking?

Why would you want to use an inadequate PSU? Totally not recommend it. Don't know if it'll cause the same error.
