Then I get the message I can safely remove the device. Since doing this, I no longer see that scan and fix message. I could be wrong but I think just unplugging the device without safely removing it, could be the problem. Just my two cents.
Always, always use the "Safely Remove Hardware" tool before disconnecting the USB cable. Not doing so is a sure-fire recipe for a corrupt file system sooner or later.
