error scan

About this tag
The tag error scan on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about scanning hard drives and storage devices for errors, particularly using tools like HD Tune. Common topics include running full surface scans to check HDD health, interpreting error scan results, and dealing with reallocated sectors. Users also troubleshoot error messages during scanning, such as when HP Scan stops working or when Windows prompts to scan external USB drives. The tag includes threads about diskpart not detecting drives in recovery environments and methods to clear Glist/Plist in firmware. While primarily focused on storage diagnostics, the tag also touches on printer scanning errors and driver conflicts that produce error messages.

    Windows 7 Keep from automatically wanting to scan my external USB drives when I pllug them in.

    Whenever I plug in one of my external USB drives, Windows automatically pops up a window asking me if I want to scan it for errors. Where do I change settings so that it does not automatically do this every time? Thanks
