kudos:7 | They are turned off by default, I believe.
'Enable write caching on the disk' and 'Enable advanced performance' under policies inside device manager. |

I ditched SP1, seems the problems I fixed cant be worked around.
I guess I'll wait and see if they tweak it some more.
I can now use the caching and it stays on. |

Are you sure it was SP1? I know the Intel Matrix Storage Driver disables the write caching options in Device Manager (however, write caching is still enabled, just handled by the Intel driver).

Try converting from basic to dynamic volume on the boot disk, if that is an option for you. I had a system that turned off the cache setting after each reboot; after converting the volume to dynamic, the cache enable setting was preserved between reboots.

Yes it's SP1, it installs new HD drivers V 6001.1800. |

Tried the SP1 version just released today and it still wont enable.
I see the old driver still lingering.
