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)?
