Cannot eject the USB device.

Cannot eject the USB device. I don't see the icon to safely remove in the task bar.
I tried to run the following path, but not luck.

(C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll)

The icon is hidden behind the small arrow in the lower right of your screen.  Click on that, and you will see a number of icons, which one will remove safe material one.  Be aware that unless you have a removable USB device connected, the icon will not be there.

Good luck.

  • Therefore each SATA in my Win7 x 86 device listed as an ejector device when I'm ready to eject the USB device?

    Just at the moment where I thought that my Windows 7 Pro 32 bit environment worked perfectly, one day, I was ready to eject a USB device, I plugged, I saw ALL my devices SATA appearing alongside my USB items which have been plugged, including my C drive!

    Why is this?  How, all of a sudden all my readers (internal and external) appear as removable safely disks in my Win7 32 bit and not in my Win7 64-bit (yet)?  And how can I fix this problem so that my SATA devices are not among my USB devices?  One SATA device should be listed; and this is my backup of Master, plugged in a socket of SATA_A1, for which the SATA_A2 is shared by the eSATA plug.

    Here is a little information about my hard drives and the ATA channels to which they correspond:

    B: System reserved / F: 64 - bit Windows 7 - ATA Channel 0

    [Simple walk; reserved my win7 system 64-bit is not hidden to prevent my win7 32-bit access it.]

    X: Master Backup - ATA Channel 0

    [No misspelling; my Device Manager is showing TWO ATA Channel 0 s in the list of ATA/ATAPI IDE controllers.]

    C: 32-bit Windows 7 - ATA Channel 1

    [The main reader.]

    ATA Channel 1

    [Unknown as of yet what this ATA Channel 1 corresponds to.]

    Primary data G: - ATA Channel 2

    [For additional storage.]

    Secondary data H: - ATA Channel 3

    [For additional storage.]

    D: Blu - ray - ATA Channel 4

    E: DVD Burner - ATA Channel 5

    Now for my Win7 64-bit, Disc C installation (which is my first hard drive) represents my 64-bit Windows 7 and partitions B and F (for my second hard drive) my 32-bit Windows 7 with its partition system reserved for B.  Everything else is the same, but...

    ... In my Win7 64 bit environment, my IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers list has only 2 ATA channels; 0 and 1, no duplicates.  I haven't checked for correspondence of these channels, but I'll bet that channel 0 belongs to Drive X and 1 channel belongs to the C drive.

    How is it that, in my environment 32-bit, an ATA channel has been assigned to each disk in my machine, and how to disengage and remove the assignments without losing access to all these readers?  I don't have this problem before, and I can't determine when the problem first occurred.  I can't uninstall ATA channels 2, 3, 4 and 5 of my device manager, afraid that the corresponding drives disappear from my Explorer and becomes completely inaccessible.

    UPDATE:  He finds that, for some unknown reason, my SATA AHCI controller has been replaced, which displays all my readers as removable.

    First thing I did was make an update, I think it was almost a downgrade, to the standard AHCI driver provided by Windows.  All readers always displayed as removable.

    Then I did an update; This time, instructing the Device Manager to search for the driver accompanying DVDs of the card from my mother...

    ... And here!  After a restart, only displayed as removable drives are X Drive and everything I plug into the USB ports.  In my device manager, only ATA 0 and 1 (no duplicates) channels are displayed.

  • Cannot see the usb device manager devices or windows Explorer.

    I use windows 7 64-bit. I have a certain external drives connected vis USB everything works OK when lit.

    I have a video camera Digital Sony connected to usb, which gives a 'bong' sound to indicate that it is connected, but I do not see in windows Explorer or disk management. The camera itself acknowledges that it has been connected to my PC OK. I tried the camera using usb different positions, still no visibility? Help, please!

    Have you selected the right mode of the camera for connectivity? For example, the PictBridge and mass storage mode are usually present in a camera. If not select any mode, Windows shows a device is connected, but it cannot access anything whatsoever to the camera.

    Also, have you tried to change the cable?

  • Cannot access the usb Gizmo.

    Original title: bo

    It cannot access usb Gizmo! Crucial storage device. Window 7 it shows in Device Manager, but do not have access to the device. I used this drive for 4 years, I need the data on it.

    Hello Bobby.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • Do you have an error message when it is not detected? If YES, what is the exact and complete error message that you receive?

    I understand that the USB device is not detected by your computer. The question may arise if the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or damaged or if your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with a device USB and Windows. This can also occur if your USB controllers may have become unstable or corrupt. So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists.

    Method 1:

    Please try the fixit (s) provided below which will help you solve common problems associated with devices and USB ports.

    If method 1 does not work, try Method 2.

    Method 2:

    Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

    1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.
    5. Plug in the removable USB device and test to make sure that the problem is solved.

    If the problem persists, go to method 3.

    Method 3:

    Disable USB selective suspend framework. This method prevents your power off USB device.

    1. Click the Start button, type power management in the search box, and then click choose a power plan.
    2. Next to your currently selected plan, click Change Plan settings.
    3. Click change advanced power settings.
    4. Click in the box USBsettings, and then expand the USB selective suspend settings.
    5. Click on the area, and then click the menu drop down and select disabled.
    6. If you use a laptop, click the cell, and then click the menu drop down and select disabled.
    7. Click apply, and then click OK.

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

    Kind regards

  • Receives the following message after opening a downloaded game: 'Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    Hello!
    So I'm at the end of my rope with this one... it lasts for months, and I keep revisitng every two weeks to try and fix that and every time to be completely frustrated.  I found this forum tonight, so here goes...

    We downloaded a few games on the HP Games Web site.  We download them and everything works fine.  Then, we will open the games and this pop up error message:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    These games used to run fine, and I have no idea why they now have problems.  We have a Vista operating system, 1 account who is the administrator, the Parental control is disabled (or if we believe).

    If anyone can please help it would be much appreciated!  We have a monthly membership to this site of game and continue to accumulate credits, but may not use it.  It makes us crazy!

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello Heathie,

    Thank you for posting.  It seems that the program is no longer on your computer.  This can happen if the game files are deleted, but the game itself has not been uninstalled correctly.  I recommend you to download the game again to a location on your computer where you can easily find and install it.  This should fix the problem.

    Please let me know if this helps you.
