-pops- Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Check if the Windows indexing service is operating. If it is, turn it off.What I do is only have external drives running when they are being, or about to be, used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Check if the Windows indexing service is operating. If it is, turn it off.What I do is only have external drives running when they are being, or about to be, used.By far the simplest and best method., but ensure that you disconnect in the prescribed manner. If in doubt, ASK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
