In the Windows Vista & 7 task scheduler you can chose an event to trigger a task to run.

I have been looking through various logs (mainly system & hardware events) and cannot seem to find any events that are triggered when my USB HDD is connected.

Yet i am sure that a event must be raised, so does anyone know what event it is (log/source/event id)?

Thanks in advance

Can't you use AutoRun on the HDD to trigger a task when you plug the HDD in the computer?

autorun is disabled on USB drives for security reasons – Lloyd Sparkes Sep 11 '09 at 5:54
