USB flash disk error.

Hi
Yes because it appears immediately when I plug the USB disk everytime, at first I though it was the system hard disk.
What is strange; in WinXP none errors appear in the Event Viewer, only appears in Win7, maybe it's a Windows7 issue?
Many thanks.

 

USB flash disk error.

Are you sure you are looking at the correct drive? I have gotten those errors on DVD-RAM drives when they have a dirty disk.

Or perhaps a flaky driver is causing the issue while it is identifying the USB device.

 

Checking Disk Consistency

Ok i did as viper suggested, but it stops checking at stage 3. It is still saying the drive is dirty, and still needs to be checked. I did a defrag and a disk cleanup, and suggestions?
