I have a Maxtor 160GB external drive connected to my Tablet docking station
via firewire.
I have two problems with it.
1. When the Tablet is redocked, AutoPlay is triggered and wants to scan the
entire disk for every piece of music (my entire CD collection). My AutoPlay
settings for that drive (D are set to "No Action". There are no media
files in the root folder. How do I *really* stop this?
2. When the Tablet comes out of standby or hibernation, I get error messages
to the effect that Windows could not write data to D:\$Msft. 'The write
caching policy is set to "Optimize for Quick Removal" - the alternate
"Optimize for Performance" makes the problem worse.
There does not appear to be a more recent driver for the device. Windows is
completely current with public updates and patches. The Tablet edition is a
superset of Windows XP Pro SP1, so I'm not expecting any Tablet-specific
issues.
