Advice: "You should eject your USB sd card readers/drives so they don't cause errors and muck up the files on them"
me: okay sure! *Does so*
windows: "It's now safe to remove your USB device."
Me: I'll be extra cautious and wait a little... THERE that should be fine. *removes device*

- spongebob timecard to show time passing -

me: Oh boy time to use this USB device! *plugs it in*
Windows: "AAAH THERE ARE ERRORS ON THIS DRIVE"
Me: :|

every damn time, every damn usb device, why am i even bothering, is it ejecting the devices that is causing this what the fuck

and oh, I can SCAN and try to FIX errors, and guess what windows says?

can you guess?

go on. I bet you can.

If you answered "it scans, and doesn't find any errors, because there are no errors to fix and at no point does it go 'whoopsy i was wrong sorry' it goes 'you didn't need to scan this, there's no errors!' then you are 100% correct."

@Nine i have learned to not give a shit about this particular error

@pup_hime @Nine I think the only problems are in the hidden System Media Information folder nobody cares about

@Nine I'm pretty sure what windows means with "there's an error with this device" is means that it detects something it should have cleaned up last time.
I've also had fun times where I've shut off everything but windows still thinks the fucking stick is in use, so. It's a wonderful situation that people just learn to ignore errors from.
