  • Cannot click on "Remove hardware" to eject external drives in the system icons tray

    First of all, it's not the usual problem whereby Windows refuses to allow me to eject a flash disk because it is in use; My problem is different.

    I can't really top click (left or right). It applies only to this icon - all others, including the management of power, wireless, bluetooth, etc work fine - touchpad driver I can click on each of them. It is very annoying, because instead of this, I have to go to my computer to eject the flash drives, which is clearly more hassle. I see no reason why this happens no matter what light you can throw on this issue would be appreciated.

    Should I reinstall the USB drivers? If so, what are those who control the external drives...?

    7. 'Removable disk' Questions

      1. I have 100 photos stored on my 'removable disk I:' that were imported from my memory card.

      As "removable drive I:" is separated from my C: drive, this means that these 100 photos are just too much space, too much space on my hard drive the drive when the memory card is connected, or no space is being made regardless of whether or not the memory card is plugged?

      2. when importing photos from a memory card and click 'Import', why is there not an option to choose which of the 100 photos of important in the desired folder, if I don't want to install all of the batch of 100 photos?

      3. because importing photos "saves" in the i drive: removable, why is the memory card must be connected to each time to access the I: drive?

      Windows XP enabled me to 'choose' that 100 photos to import by placing a check mark next to them, so it's all new to me.

      Thanks in advance.

    8. How do I change my USB Flash drive from a hard drive to a removable disk

      Been having a lot of problems with my laptop lately, then I'm just trying to move some basic data (music, photos, etc.) my laptop on my desk. When I initially plugged my Flash drive (brand new, no problems with it, was sold yesterday. 16 GB) on my laptop, it installed the drivers successfully but no it has not assigned a drive letter. After going to management records and trying to assign it a letter, he would enter an error code. So I grew up diskpart.exe and assigned a drive letter that elsewhere, BUT, for some reason, he now thinks it's a partitioned hard disk drive and I can't eject it (and therefore, it will not save anything when I unplug it).

      When I plug the drive in my desktop, everything works perfectly fine. He acknowledges as a drive Removable and all. I even formatted it on my desktop (with 'quick format' unchecked) yet when I plug in my laptop, it has the same files on it as before when it was plugged into my laptop.

      To plug into my office and loading upward from diskpart, after typing the volume from the list and pressing on enter, I have noticed that my office it lists as "Removable" type (when I do this on my laptop, it lists as "Score" type) so how can I change to a removable drive?
      EDIT: Looking in the "Disk management" folder in "Computer management", it shows my flash drive in the framework of the "disk 0" and my C drive and it lists as "Primary Partitions.
      Below, under "Disk 1" it shows my removable disk, but when I right click it, and then click on "Change Drive Letter and paths...". «it comes up with an error stating ' operation failed to complete because the disk management console view is not updated.» Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the problem persists, close the disk management console, then restart disk management or restart the computer. »
      (I updated using the update task, I close the restart disk management console, as well as restarted my computer.) Nothing works)
      The most frustrating thing is that I have a small 1 GB flash drive and it works completely and perfectly fine on my laptop.

      The answer this question (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/error-disk-management-console-view-is-not-up-to/e96ccbf9-0f6e-40ce-999f-4da4e05d7704) actually solved my problem. Thanks for your time though!
