Maybe it's caused by the removable bay not being ATA compliant.

It only happens when I shutdown. I know because Event Viewer does not
report a problem before I shut down, yet when the machine comes back
up (after running CHKDSK) there is always 2 identical entries that say
the NTS Volume is corrupt and I should run CHKDSK. But CHKDSK runs
automatically. So something is corrupting the disk at shutdown and
Windows discovers it before shutdown has finished and schedules CHKDSK
to run next reboot.

Thanks, but I have already searched both the web and MS KB. Nothing
obvious popped up.

I need to trap this error. How do I do that?
