I am using Windows XP SP2, im just wondering why it always scan my (SLAVE) hard drive (NTFS) everytime i'm rebooting even though i shut down my machine properly...
yeah, the message said that it will scan due to "inconsistency..." whatever... and not from improper shutdown..
it will undergo 3 scan operation (index, security descriptor...etc)
I've reformat my SYSTEM DRIVE (not the drive that i've mentioned above) before because of that annoying problem.. thinking that the problem is in the system files itself... at first it was okay but after a less a than week, there goes the scanning again...
there is one last resort that im thinking: Reformat the SLAVE DRIVE (320GB)..but at present i don't have other 'storage device' to temporarily backup my files before reformatting...
anyone got a clear shot? pls. let me know.. tnx

my drive is only 5 months old and contain no bad sector/s, i guess the problem is in the 'logging', stuff that would tell the windows that 'it is already been scanned'...
but i still don't know, just a wild guess...

In addition I suggest youmGet an External Drive like a Lacie, or Maxtor. Firewire is better, but USB-2 will work and then you won't have problems anymore, You plug it in when you want to use it and unplug it when your done, and you get to save it all, iOmega has a New 1 terabite drive for under $200. and if you prfer you can get a Zip with removable disks to store on like the 750gb .Drag and Drop

Hi The problem will be that the Secondary Hard Drive has bad sectors meaning that eventually it will fail completely. You need to back up the drive as soon as possible. If the drive is new and under a guarantee then you should ask for a replacement. I have some knowledge of computer hardware and software problems.
