Common causes for 'delayed write failed' errors
1. Problems with a device driver, especially a SCSI or RAID device driver.
2. Cabling problems
3.SCSI termination errors
4. Media errors
5. BIOS settings on the computer are forcing faster UDMA modes than the drive controller can handle.
6. Controller issues.
7. Memory parity issues.
8. The LargeSystemCache Registry

In ur case it might be the last one...but also check for others..
One peculiar set of circumstances that has been observed on multiple machines with more than 512MB of memory involves the LargeSystemCache Registry setting, a DWORD entry found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSe ssion ManagerMemory Management. This setting governs the amount of memory set aside by the system for certain kernel processes. If it's set to 1 (which allegedly improves performance on systems with more than 512MB of memory), it can cause data corruption on some systems, and produce the "Delayed Write Failed" error. Try resetting it to 0 if it's been set.

since you have just attached a newer hard disk.. i suggest you check you sata data cables.. the main problem is that red data cable .. its just too stiff for such an advanced peice of machinery.. even if you do connect it properly.. the stiffness of the cable stores some residual strain which is tends the cable to spring back to its original position over a period of time or due to temperature fluctuations arising from the increase/decrease in its surrounding temperatures..
I suggest strongly to throw away the red data cable and switch over to the softer varieties available.. they are available at 'Computer Selection' at lamington road
