Back at Linux again!

Just wiped out W10 from my Notebook yesterday and installed Linux Mint 18.1. This Notebook runs really fast right now. Was a good decision. 🙂

I’ve always noticed the “scan the drive now and fix it” when using my USB key in my wife’s pc, before W8.1, and now W10. I honestly have never paid much attention to it, but I’ll try to make the .Trash-1000 file visible, and see what happens. Thanks BernardDecock

@Óvári : It is also possible that Win8.1 is modifying the memory stick at “safelty” removing the stick or Linux Mint has installed .trash (hidden file). Showing the hidden files may reveal the issue.

When USB memory sticks are inserted into:
1. Windows 8.1 (then safety removed), then
2. Linux Mint 18.1 Cinnamon (then ejected), and then
3. Windows 8.1, the following message shows:
“There’s a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it.”

What is Linux Mint doing to USB memory sticks to cause this message to occur on Windows 8.1?

Thank you

A big fan and User rather than Geek since MintDaryna I can see that the latest Comments are relatively free of MicroSoft disciple sabotage.
I also reckon that any new Mintbox could well lose all advantage due to terrorist new bomb threat legislation that prevents air transport unlike BrucesWay thumbnail size devices that are too small, yet are now capable of also including large amounts of highly transportable data. That data effectiveness is further amplified by much more efficient Linux code.
Meanwhile although quite content with MintSerenalMATE64 I am looking forward to MintSonya.

@ Clem #119
we have gotten about 30 updates since the 12th… none have helped my problems with LMDE Mate 1.18.0
toolbars are still broken… 1. no drag and drop of files, 2. making launchers still freezes the toolbar and requires a forced reboot.
thanks

…and as this morning I had the necessity to use it in my freshly reinstalled system that obviously didn’t have it working by default :/ : REISUB.
I still don’t understand why sysrq-ralt isn’t available as standard, I wonder what was thinking the person who had the idea to take it off, but hey…
it would be nice having it back, please 🙂
