Disk Write Caching is disabled

I am using "Microsoft Bootvis" to optimize my PC. I get the following warning message:
"Warning! Disk Write Caching is disabled."
How can I enable it? I could not find this option in the BIOS setup.

Thanks,

Dear Dan:
I am using Windows XP Professional Edition. I did what the links said. I went to the Policies Section of the Hard disk. In the "Write Caching and safe Removal" section, everything is disabled and there is nothing to choose!!!
What should I do now?

Dear gecko_au2003:
I don't have that controller on my PC. I have a normal Pentium 4 PC.

Dear nobus:
I don't see that "management" section there! I am using Windows XP.

Thanks,

nobus

Dear nobus:
I see 4 tab pages. General, Policies, Volumes, Driver. In the Policies section I see an option "Optimize for performance" but it is grayed out and cannot be checked. What is wrong?

So nothing is wrong, and bootvis is only warning you of the situation.
