ScanDisk Last Result: Check Was Stopped Because of an Error (135952)

This article was previously published under Q135952 SYMPTOMS
In System Agent, the Last Result column for a ScanDisk task may report
"Check was stopped because of an error." However, the Scandisk.log file
does not list any errors, and you do not encounter any errors if you run
ScanDisk manually.
CAUSE
This behavior may be caused by an invalid drive in ScanDisk's DrivesToCheck
registry setting. The DrivesToCheck setting can become invalid if a drive
that existed when the ScanDisk task was created is subsequently removed.
For example, this can occur when you remove a PCMCIA drive, uncompress or
unmount a compressed drive, or remove a laptop computer from its docking
station.
RESOLUTION
Delete the existing ScanDisk task and schedule a new task. Make sure to
check the settings for the task to see that they meet your requirements.
If you use a docking station or some other form of removable drive on a
regular basis, you may want to schedule separate ScanDisk tasks for the
permanent and removable drives. Because only one instance of ScanDisk can
run at a time, make sure to schedule the tasks so that they do not overlap.
