Windows XP Pro SP2
I have an external drive which Windows turns on at each launch.
First launch of computer this morning, 4/8/2006, resulted in a CHKDSK
(during the loading) of H: LaCie external drive (120 GB) (connected via
firewire).

Additional note: Yesterday, I added to the STARTUP folder
C:\Documents and Settings\myname\Start Menu\Programs,
a shortcut for a Word file I wanted to be loaded at every launch. The file
was located on H: external drive. Could this have caused the problem? After
this report I closed the file and removed the shortcut from the STARTUP
folder.
I have not yet run another chkdsk this morning. Should I? and with what
parameters? I only know basics of Windows housekeeping.
By searching C: I found 2 associated files dated 4/8/2006:
edb.chk (8 K) Recovered File Fragments 8:57 am
edb.log (128K) Text Document 8:57 am
Device manager says this device is working properly. The setting is
"Optimize for quick removal", though I always use the "disconnect icon"
before I disconnect it. Should the setting be "Optimize for performance"
(write cashing in windows)?
Does "Recovered File Fragments" mean the problem has been corrected?
What would be the next thing for me to do?
