iPod “scan and fix” message in Windows 7

Question

Everytime I plug in my iPod Windows 7 says it has problems and do i want to scan and fix. How do I disable this? I know my iPod is in good shape.

I know my iPod is in good shape.

Windows begs to differ :)

anyway, don’t click the “Scan and Fix” button.

open up a command line prompt and type the following command:

chkdsk (device drive letter): /f

for instance the ipod is mounted as drive E type: chkdsk e: /f

Might want to add that "enable disk use" needs to be checked and iTunes should be closed (otherwise chkdsk) will complain.
