Windows - Delayed Write Failed

Hi, when im using my removable HDD with win2k, every few mins it comes up and says that ive removed the hardware then i get the error

Windows - Delayed Write Failed
Windows was unable to save all of the dta for the file \Device\HarddiskvoumeXX\$mft

etc, etc where XX is a number.

I dont know whats causing this.
I dont have power saving set anywhere and the drive isnt being disconnected.
Its not the removable drives fault as it works fine on other win2k computers.

When it does happen, i do still have access to the drive, it happens when i am using it and when im not.

Any ideas?

Stuart.
