My tool ListUsbDrives shows it, so you can at least identify which drive is causing this: http://www.uwe-sieber.de/files/listusbdrives.zip To discover why this drive is accessed at all is difficult. If you don't need the drive then you can deactivate it in the device manager. Uwe |

Note: If the drive if failing, a chkdsk could render this disk unusable. Download & run the mfr's test program on the drive. It's probably beginning to have bad blocks that chkdsk may be able to mark out. But if more happen, the disk is going to be trash very soon. HTH, Twayne` |
