Ok, so the scan ended within 48 h. Not too bad for a new Pc...
It found absolutely no errors, and still, every time I remove the device and stick it into the USB, it tells me again that there might be errors.
Why?
Any device with memory that I stick into my new Win7 PC tells me "the data system might be damaged, do you wan to scan or continue".
So, now, after getting too annoyed about it, I started scanning.
It's been on it it for 18 hours now, and has done about 10% according to that green indication bar, of my 1TB HDD. Is that normal? I once selected "cancel", and the HDD remained locked for any other use, so now I rather wait till it's done. Can only be another 162 hours at this rate...
And why does it say that all my devices are damaged? There's no problem (that I can see) with the data on the HDD, or any of the USB sticks I use, and my other PCs (Win98, Win200, winXP) all tell me nothing about problems...
thx.
