I get that message every time I connect any of my flashdrives, or my Kindle. I've tried scanning and fixing all of them at least 5 times each, and they always report a clean bill of health. Then they proceed to bug me about it every time in the future as well.
I can -- temporarily -- fix the problem by reformatting and restoring from a backed-up folder of my stuff. But since nothing is actually wrong, I don't bother. Linux doesn't have a problem with it, Windows insists that it's all right but wants to bug me about it anyway.
I just chalk it up to Windows being really stupid (because I don't like Windows much, anyway) and click cancel every time I connect flash storage devices of any type to Windows.
EDIT: And yes, I conscientiously use the "Safely Remove Hardware" button for my Kindle, and the Eject feature of PortableApps which uses the "Safely Remove Hardware" feature somehow.
So:

This may fix the problem, or it may just come back every time you plug your device in.
EDIT2: It didn't make a difference which computer I used, either, at least 8 computers running either WinXP, Win7, or Win8 all failed in the same way.
