If they are connected as standard ATA/SATA/SCSI and seen by the bios at boot time (ie. if you go to setup and see them enumerated) they will probably be checked if shut down dirty. If USB connected, you'll likely need to do a manual checkdisk (or use a startup command file). I've never seen a hotplugged device of any flavor checked automatically unless connected at boot time and then only the ones in the expansion tray. -- Will Honea
