I keep getting this error, anyone else? "MPC Live 2 keep saying please eject hard drive before disconnecting failure to eject safely may result in loss of data".

I have a 1TB hard drive in the MPC and I never use controller mode, I have reformatted drive and after a while the error message starts back popping up. Am I doing something wrong?

I thank you for your help in advance.

Something whacky is going on with the linux kernel / fatfs as of late.. if you format the drive to ext4 it will probably quit doing that crap. another option is the pop the drive out and run a file system check on the disk and correct any errors.u

Is your drive loose? The SATA jack on the Live II can be a little sketch, and it's possible that it's working its way loose randomly (which would throw the error above, as all attached storage must be safely software ejected before disconnecting or you'll corrupt the drive).
