SUMMARY

When you run ScanDisk, the "Select the drive you want to check for errors" box may show drives that do not exist, or may not show drives that do exist.

MORE INFORMATION

The drive list in ScanDisk is static. The list is generated when you start ScanDisk and it is not updated while ScanDisk is running. If you add or remove drives (such as PCMCIA drives or DriveSpace-compressed drives) while ScanDisk is running, the list is not updated to reflect the changes.

To update the drive list, exit and then restart ScanDisk.
