nuvi 3790

 

When I connect my nuvi 3790 to my PC, I see a warning message on the lower-right corner of the computer:
"There is a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it."
The nuvi 3790 works fine without any problem.
Why I am getting this massage?
I am affraid to do this scan and fix.
I would appreciate any help and advice on this.

This message is from the computer's operating system that has found a problem with the file structure on the GPS. This often happens if you have removed the 3790 from the USB connection on the computer without doing the "safely remove hardware" function.

I have done the "scan and fix" many times over the years and it has never caused any problems with the Nuvi. Usually it's a small single bite error that gets corrected. Even if the "fix" is more serious than what I have experienced, if you have a good backup copy of the contents of your Nuvi you should be able to recover without any major issues.

I get the same message

I get the same messages just ignore it. Matter of fact it maybe causing problem..

Thank you

Thank you t923347 and Driver38 for your help.
I will update the CN NA map on my nuvi 3790 first, then I will save the 3790 files to my computer. After that I might start the scan and fix program ?
I will see ?
Thanks again.

You will keep getting this message

As others have stated, it likely was caused by not properly telling the computer you were disconnecting the usb before unplugging it.

That being said, UNTIL you let it scan the device, you will get this message every time you plug it in. Odds are it won't find any issues, if it doesn't it will be very minor.

I've had this happen several times

Not only with my 3590, but with my 3597. I click 'Scan and Fix' and a couple of minutes later, it says that everything is fine. You won't hurt your Nuvi by doing this.
