Seagate 8TB Ext HD Windows: "Problem with this drive"

[ThePhilster]

Not sure if I should ignore this (Translation: should I trust Windows?) I have this drive on a switch between 2 systems (amazingly convenient). When I switch, I get the expected two windows that pop in succession (2nd being the directory display of the disk). However, an Autoplay window pops up: "Seagate Hub: There's a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it"

Everything seems to work, I even checked the health of the drive and both partitions are healthy, which makes sense, because it operates properly. I also hesitate to do the Windows scan (I wonder why?). Should I just ignore the message?

Thanks!

Do you "stop" the drive before you switch between systems?

Nope, can try that!

Look for the icon in your taskbar for removing USB devices. Else, you may eventually corrupt the external files/filesystem.

Ok, have that. Should I do the scan to check it?

Sure. Wouldn't hurt.
