Error scanning MBR sector

While using NOD32 to scan a file, which checked good, first saw:

Error occurred while scanning MBR sector of the 2. physical disk. Error reading sector.

Did search and was glad to find:

Yesterday I started using a usb printer that has a flash media reader - can load media and preview on printer lcd, then print.

The usb printer media reader appears as a 'Removable Disk'.

So, given old thread posts, disabled disk, scanned a file, no error message.

Enabled disk, scanned a file, error message.

'Safely removed' disk, stopped, using icon in systray.
Scanned a file, no error message.


Do not, though, understand why NOD32 gives this error message.

 

I experienced the same error when I installed a new HP 2710.
Whenever it's on I get the error during a scan.

Hi Dan,

Right now the Lexmark P6250 is powered off, but the media reader still appears in WinXP explorer upon reboot as a
'Removable Disk' - corrected to 'removable disk' from 'fixed drive'.

No MBR to be scanned, esp. if no media inserted, I assume. Seems like NOD32 could somehow 'know'?

As said, previous forum posts helped me figure out, just wasn't expecting and the rd is F: drive, which doesn't seem to 'line up' with '2. physical disk'?
