Windows IDE Hard Drive Cache Package
224 KB/ Download Time: < 1 min
The Windows IDE Hard Drive Cache Package provides a workaround for computers running Windows 98 Second Edition with Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) hard drives, large caches, and modern processors.
IDE hard drives store data in a hardware cache (temporary memory) and write the data to the hard disk later.
For these computers, data can be lost during the shutdown process because the amount of time that it takes for fast processors to shut down is so short that the hard disk may shut down before the data in the cache is written to the hard drive.
This update introduces a two second delay in the shutdown process, which allows the hard drive's cache to write any data to the hard drive.
