I sometimes get this error when resuming from hibernation:
Delayed Write Failed:
Windows was unable to save all the data for the file G:\$Mft.
The data has been lost. This error may be caused by a failure of
your computer hardware or network connection. Please try to save
this file elsewhere.
I know this is caused because the hard drive (G:, an external USB drive) was (a) plugged in when I hibernated and wasn't ready at wake-up, or (b) I simply forgot to plug it when resuming from hibernation.
My question is: is there any way to see which particular file/folder/etc failed to be written? The hard drive functions correctly before and after, so there seems to be no permanent damage.
Is there a detailed log someplace or a utility? I've searched but found nothing.
Thanks for any help!
