For some time now whenever I did a reboot it would produce the autoplay

Checkdisk comes clean, 0% fragmented.

Does anybody know the cause?

I have an external (USB) HD permanently plugged into my computer. It has
4 partitions (shares) each assigned to its own drive letter.

Whenever I boot the system I get any number from 0 to 4 autoplay
dialogues. It seems to be totally random and I've always assumed that it
has something to do with when, within the boot process, it recognises
each share. There's no (to me) obvious reason why it should vary from
boot to boot, but it does
