    Portable Hard Drives


    I use a few portable USB drives with my Zinwell media player. I safely remove the drive from the player. When I plug in back into the pc, I get a message asking if I want to scan for errors. It does this each time I plug it back into the pc. I had a Seagate player and the same thing happened.

    Tried plugging the same drives into an XP pc and the check errors message did not appear. Is this just a Windows 7 thing?

    Sounds like you have some security option enabled to scan removable drives. It's not inherent to Win7. Check your security suite for the setting.

I was wondering what the best way to make sure your external drive is functioning as it should? Also, how much damage is done if your drive loses power abruptly? Also, why would someone want a larger drive that needs an additional power source compared to a portable drive?
