What are the policies under the properties for the hard drive? Is write cache or advanced performance enabled? Do you get the same result with write cache and advanced performance completely disabled?

>I upgraded the hard drive in one of my computers the other day to a Western Digital Caviar SE16 640 GB SATA 3.0Gb/s drive. I am running Vista SP1 and VFP9 SP2. When working with source code on the new hard drive, I am unable to run my applications. It seems that I am having compile problems. The most common error I see is "Cannot compile until the current COMPILE command has completed." VFP will then crash. If I try to run again, I get an error indicating that I have an invalid .fxp file. If I delete the corrupted fxp file, then the problem starts all over again with a different fxp. If I try to build the .exe, it sometimes works and sometimes crashes. If it works then I can delete the executable and go on with development.
