Corrupted recycle bin

I have recently added an external USB hard drive but when I switch it on it
corrupts my recycle bin. I have tried adjusting the recycle bin settings but
this has no effect. The only way to rectify the problem is to unplug the
drive.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

See if manufacturer has his own drivers. I cant defrag
or zip with MS drivers but can with Adaptec's.

Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
 
"The Recycle Bin on E:\ is corrupted. Do you want to empty the recycle bin
for this drive" (E:\ being the external drive)

This is the message that I get when I try to use the recycle bin after I
connect the external hard drive. When I delete something from E:\ it does not
go to the recyle bin

The drive type is a Maxtor "One Touch" 80GB which came with it's own driver
and Dantz Retrospective 6.0 backup software. I have not tried any alternative
drivers
 
This seems to work for many: Make sure that something is in the Recycle Bin
(delete any file). With the Recycle Bin closed, right click and choose:
Empty Recycle Bin. When the confirm box appears, click ok. Reboot. Now the
Recycle Bin should work correctly.

For what it's worth, this very thing happened to me today. The last time I
think I saw an error message like that, it was Windows 95 or something. :)
But this is exactly what I did to fix the problem.
