Event ID 7 When Charging an IPad on a Windows 10 PC

[allanc]

A client's System Event Log is flooded with hundreds of Event ID 7 when they connect their IPad to charge on their Windows 10 PC.
I am not very familiar with how PCs and 'I' devices communicate.
I want to make sure that I should be advising my client to seek assistance from a IPad tech and that these events are being interpreted correctly by Windows
Here is a sample:

Log: System
Type: Error
Event: 7
Alert Time: 2019-08-21 12:51:23Z
Event Time: 04:50:00 PM 21-Aug-2019 UTC

Category: None
Username: N/A
Description: The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR14, has a bad block.

\Device\Harddisk1\DR14

You need to see what "drive" this really is.

has a bad block.

Sounds to me like the storage medium on the iPad has an issue. Could be a simple filesystem problem, or it could be corrupted storage before a cascade failure. But yeah, you need to confirm that it is drive 14 before you blame the pad.

If the drive 14 is USB-powered external drive, may be some power issues on USB bus, that is, charging iPad causes some kind of bus-wide transient in USB.

Agreed.
I can determine the 'Harddisk1' from the 'deviceid' in the following:

wmic diskdrive get caption,description,deviceid,drivetype,providername,volumename

Any suggestions on how to determine the 'DR14' from CMD or PowerShell?

try NirSoft DriveLetterView - http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/drive_letter_view.html

Why not just open up disk management and look at the list? If the device is connected, you'll see disk 14.

This is a MSP client.
I am slowly trying to build up my knowledge of CMD, PowerShell and Kaseya Procedures that I can run totally in the background.
I made a judgement error and believed the client when they told me that they did not have any USB storage devices attached other than an IPad.
When I ran the WMIC command above using a Kaseya Procedure, I determined that HardDisk1 was actually a USB device (WD My Passport).
The client has since removed the device and all is well.
Thanks to all.
