  the drive is recognized in Device Manager, but it is not given a drive letter.
  When I open disk management and try to give it a drive letter it still does not show on my computer even after a reboot.

  Although I can access the disk management flash drive and can open, copy & paste the files & to her.
  same problem happened with a card reader.
  other USB devices like cable modem & mouse work well

  What is the solution

  Hello

  Is it possible that the USB is not formatted? Try changing the file system on the USB key.
  You can also try to change the drive letter because the letter assigned automatically sometimes gives some conflicts with other readers.

  Second possibility:
  You can try to clean all the USB stored device settings and let Windows refresh their.

  Create a file with Notepad containing the following lines and save it as a BOOKMARK. REG
  -cut after this line-
  REGEDIT4

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Environment]

  "DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES" = "1".
  -cut before this line-

  Double click on FIX. REG and say yes to the merge into registry question.

  Unplug ALL USB device.
  Open the Device Manager.
  View, show hidden devices.
  Uninstall all devices under USB controllers.
  Uninstall all devices in hard drives that you know are not present.
  Uninstall all devices in storage Volumes. Say no to all reboot prompts until you are finished.
  In addition, if a storage Volume doesn't uninstall, ignore her and move on to the next.
  If you have a yellow? with unknown devices, uninstall all of the entries there as well.

• Difficulty accessing FAT32 USB flash drives

  I can't access my usb on my PC flash drives, which are formatted FAT32. NTFS works very well. When I try to open the drive FAT32, windows asks me to format it. I have no problems to open on my laptop. I tried formatting in FAT32, which translates the format error and incomplete. I tried to remove the USB drivers. I tried everything in disk management, such as the assignment of a letter... Tried a registry clean with few tools. Nothing.

  Really can not find the problem...

  Unless readers should be hung for Windows ME/98/95 of the Commission, there is little interest in formatting in FAT32

• 4 error code when a client system tries to access a USB flash drive

  I recently installed Windows XP in a guest operating system, using Workstation 6.5.5, but I am not able to connect a USB device to the host (8-64-bit Windows) system.   I have another desktop computer with a 64 bit Vista host and a Vista 32 bit comment system where it has never been a problem.  There must be a setting that I can't find which would allow this simple task off a flash of the host drive and its connection to the host. Under settings, I allowed to recognize all USB devices.

  Gordon

  If the host system's USB 3.0 so as a workaround you may need to buffer the USB device between the host and he with a Hub USB 2.0, then the comments of Windows before Windows 8 OS should be able to access the device.

• Satellite L675 - 11 H - cannot access and/or played on USB flash drive files

  Hi all

  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L675 - 11H and tried to transfer files from a USB Pendrive on my hard drive from Toshiba. The files were already transferred from my old laptop (HP - XP) on my USB flash drive.

  Unable to access the USB flash drive to any of the USB ports that I connect my new laptop flash drive. What could be the problem here? Thank you for your help or tips!

  Hey Rush,

  Can you post more detailes about this behavior? What happens if you connect your laptop HARD drive, you don't see that Windows installs the drivers for the new USB device or do you have an error message? If you have connected the USB check of Windows disk management if she s recognized there (Control Panel > system and security > administrative tools).

  Have you tried other USB devices such as USB mice? If they don t work too the problem might be connected to the USB ports. In this case, you must delete all the USB ports on the Device Manager and restart your laptop. Also the chipset driver update might help.

• cannot get rid of the "removable disk" in "my computer" and "Device Manager", after incorrectly removing a USB flash drive

  I stupidly, twice - after using USB flash drives - just shot when he in fact without removing them properly. Now, they are listed at all times in my 'Device Manager' and in 'my computer '. I went into Device Manager and tried to uninstall them. It seemed to work but the next time I booted up Vista found drivers and now they are back in 'my computer' and Device Manager. This does not seem to be a problem, but I would like to get rid of them.

• Windows Explorer stops working whenever I have connect a USB flash drive and try to access

  Hello. I use Windows Vista.

  I had a particular problem. Whenever I have plug in a USB key and try and access it, I get a pop saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working." the file is closed. If I wait a long time (i.e. 10 seconds), I might be able to get into the drive without any problems, but even when there is no guarantee. The problem persists in each USB slot I use. In addition, it is not that the computer is not able to detect it. It can detect and identify that it is a USB flash drive. It's just that whenever I try to access (or the folders inside the flash player), windows Explorer stops working and restarts.

  Does anyone have this problem before? And any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  The mistake made reference the MSVCR80.dll, which is a Microsoft file, but it may be another third party file, causing the problem.

  DivX is installed?

  If so, can you uninstall DivX and see if the error resolves.

• Split 13 x 2 PCs 13-m110dx: cannot perform the system recovery using a USB flash drive

  I just bought a Split 13 x 2 13-m110dx PC that came with Windows 8. I have upgraded the OS to 8.1 and made a copy of the recovery Partition using a USB flash drive, and deleted the recovery of the PC disk that I learned that I could do. However, when I tried to retrieve OEM provided using the USB flash drive by following the directions at creation and use of a recovery of Microsoft USB drive (Windows 8) "System Recovery" was not available to the title of "troubleshooting." I tried to tell it to boot from the USB, but it askes me to insert the support of windows or other media, but rejects the flash player. What do I do now because I have not all discs?

• The request cannot be performed because of the I/o device error when opening a USB flash drive

  Original title: USB Flash Drive issues

  So, I tried to open my flash drive on my Dell Inspiron 15 with Windows 8 today to make an assignment. But for some reason some it does not open. This is what appears when I try to open it. I've done many things that are supposed to solve the problem with the ports themselves, but nothing seems to work that makes me think that it is the actual flash player. I don't know what to do all that my University materials are there then I really need to work, or at least find a way to get at least most of my files. Thank you very much for the help in advance.

  Sorry for the late reply Jose. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue.

  This can occur because of one or more of the reasons below:
  1. the currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable.
  2. your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a key USB and Windows.
  3. Windows may miss other problems hardware or software updates.
  4. your USB controllers may have become unstable or corrupt.

  Check the disc on another computer flash memory to ensure that the issue is not with the device.

  You can try the methods below:
  Method 1: Uninstall, then reconnect the USB flash drive:
  This method solves the problems where the currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable.
  1. go in search for, type device manager in the search box
  2. click on Device Manager in the returned list.
  3. click on disk in the list of hardware drives
  4. right click on the USB with the question and click on uninstall.
  5. once the flash player is uninstalled, unplug it.
  6. wait 1 minute and then reconnect the USB flash drive. The driver should load automatically.
  7. look for the USB key in Windows Explorer

  Method 2: Reinstall the USB controllers.
  This method addresses the steps where the USB driver currently loaded became unstable or corrupted.
  1. click on start, type device manager in the start search box, and then click Device Manager.
  2. expand Bus USB controllers. Right click on a device, and then click on uninstall. Repeat for each device.
  3. Once complete, restart your computer. Your USB controllers will automatically install.

• Strange behavior USB Flash Drive Satellite A100-626

  Hello

  I did install Windows Vista Business Edition on my Satellite A100-626 (PSAA9) following the instructions provided in the Web page of drivers.

  So far, everything works as expected, except for one little (or no) question.

  When I ask Vista to 'Remove hardware safely' my USB Flash drive, a Popup appears telling me to remove it. So far, so good :D

  The only thing is that the flash player is not put out as could be expected and and yellow question mark appears in Device Manager.

  Opening of the question mark can read what follows:

  "Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been developed to remove safely, but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47) To resolve this issue, disconnect the device from your computer and plug it in again. »

  Following the instructions above, the light turns off, lol...

  Someone else met this strange behavior? If so, any solution?

  I tried a few USB flashes that run well on XP and they both do the same thing.

  Thank you, Nuno!

  Hi Nuno

  It's very strange. I have the Satellite A100-504 (comes with Windows XP Home edition). Last week, I installed Vista and all the stuff followed Toshiba document instructions facilities. I use the mouse wireless, external HDD USB web cam. With the help of these external devices together I never noticed a similar behavior.

  You have the same situation with all the USB ports?
