Fixed/Local Flash drives.

If I understand the situation, flash drives (almost?) always identified themselves as removable. With the release of Windows 8, SanDisk has taken the decision that their readers identify as fixed/Local, which is not removable.

However, Sandisk and then had a change of mind and returned to removable. Unfortunately, their packaging does not indicate clearly what identification provides the flash player. Were they made available a tool for fixed/removable local conversion.

Almost everyone of my many flash drives is bootable (utilities, antivirus, etc.). Unfortunately most of the utilities to create bootable flash drives simply don't see fixed/Local flash drives (Norton Bootable Recovery Tool, Acronis Rescue Media Builder).

If I have correctly summarize the things, so my pack of three facets Cruzer is the last purchase of SanDisk that I'll never do.

Kind regards

David.

Not all utilities for making bootable on fixed drives flash drives are impassable, that just the old ones not supported.  Try RMPrepUSB.  Personally I would write to the sellers of the apps you use and complain.

If the 3 pack you have purchased does not work for you, you should go back to where you bought them and recover your money or others.

  • Hardware changes not detected using a flash drive, the missing, system restore points tried every fix that MS can offer in Windows 7

    All of a sudden, I have several problems with my computer.  I can't not computer to recognize a flash drive.  Printer works in the same usb port.  I used Device Manager, checked the drivers, made every difficulty that MS has to offer, each difficulty that Dell can offer, but the problem remains.  I don't feel uncomfortable so I don't have to play with the registry.  I uninstalled the drivers and rebooted.  The only changes that I did before this happened was to uninstall and reinstall I-tunes.  The flash drive, I use would be defective?  When I went to the system restore, my restore points have disappeared, that was the point where I uninstalled I-tunes.  I also noticed that when I tried to detect problems with the resolution of the problems of hardware and devices, it says "material changes may not have been detected.  In detail, it also shows "there is no configured windows in a way never install driver - edition".  WHAT?  I know that windows IS configured to automatically install.  (Deep breath)

    Very well.  So I am at a loss.  Any suggestions?  Thank you very much for your time and your attention...

    Hello
     
    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing. To better understand the issue, I would like to ask you a few questions.
    1. What is the model of your Dell computer?
    2. that all measures tried on your own to fix this?
    3 have you tried to test the flash drive on another computer to see if it is faulty?
     
    This problem arises usually when the flash drive is faulty or the chipset drivers are in conflict with the USB drivers.  I recommend you to consult the following Microsoft article and check.

  • Appearing as local drive, removable flash drive!

    I bought a new SanDisk 16 gb USB flash drive a few days ago and it does not appear with locking discs. Please give a few solutions that I show as removable drive.

    Number of new flash drives is now set instead of removable.  It is due to a new requirement for Windows 8.  Best is to return the drive and buy a not Windows compatible 8.

  • Recovery Manager HP does not recognize my flash drive!

    My computer is HP Pavilion p6 desktop computer - 2317c, running windows 8.

    I am trying to create a recovery media and have a 32 facet of Cruzer Sandisk of Go that I intended to use for this. Unfortunately, Recovery manager does not recognize the flash drive... it never appears in the menu at all. The drive appears when I click on the computer icon in the section files, with no problems at all, as you can see.

    I have not created a game of recovery media, and it shows not enough space error, he just lets it appear at all!

    What can I do to fix this? I really want to do a recovery set, to prepare for a visit to the demon responsible for foulups visit.

    Hi Savvy2,

    SanDisk has changed the firmware in their most recent products so that the USB appears as a local drive and not as a removal media device. Keys older HP Recovery Manager on this information, and that's why the HP Recovery Manager is not recognized your USB key.  Review of the information that has been compiled by Erico below.

  • Presario v3000 think usb flash drive is a CD-ROM/dvd-rom; recognizes any CD

    Presario v3000 running XP PRO sp3

    Hello

    My CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive disappeared from the Manager of devices and Windows Explorer about 2 weeks; I tried all the fixes the base of knowledge without result. When I put a CD in I can hear it running, but nothing happens, even when Windows says it's looking for a CD.

    However, when I put a Flash drive on a port USB, "reader of CD/DVD-ROM" appears in the device, Manager who think that Flash is a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM called drive'Sandisk U3 cruzer Micro USB device'.  Dev man lists the Flash exactly in the same way under ""hard drives "; " under "Bus USB controllers ' it is listed as'USB mass storage device'.

    Even with the USB flash drive, "'my computer ' still does not show aCD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, but it puts a CD icon next to "U3 system", which he calls"(e) ". "

    Here's what looks like 'My Computer' in Windows Explorer:

    (drive icon)   + Local Disk (C:)

    (drive icon)  + HP_RECOVERY (:)) d )

    (cd icon) System U3 (e :)) )

    (drive icon)  + PKBACK #001 (f)

    I am so very confused and mentally exhausted.  Can someone please help me straighten this mess?

    Thank you...

  • USB Flash Drive Digital Signature is not recognized

    During the summer, I discovered that there is a huge trojan virus on my Vaio laptop.  I had to buy phone support and Sony helped me catch the virus from my computer.  However, now that I'm in College that I discovered that my laptop is unable to do the only thing I need to do - recognize my flash drive.

    When I plug ANY flash drive into the USB port of no matter WHAT, he did not recognize.  I get this message: "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52) »

    When I try to update the driver software it says that it is up-to-date.  I tried the thing support page of this says Sony (https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31399/p/48903%2C49902%2C71535%2C71585/c/65%2C66/kw...) where you configure the Local Disk Manager to start automatically and I do not have a local disk on my computer management.

    Is there a way to get back or get my USB key to work without the Disk Manager?  I really need this to get fixed!

    Here is the info on my laptop if it helps:

    OS: Windows 7-64 bit

    Model: VPCEH3MFX

    I haven't downloaded or modified software since they fixed my hard drive since the virus, I don't know if maybe the person who fixed it has removed this feature accidentally or something.

    Hi all

    I'm reading the display, but I am still having problems with the connection of external drives directly (to the two USB ports or over the network).

    More recently, I got a new USB Flash drive that can connect to my iPhone, iPad 12 "Pro and even my older laptop Samsung Galaxy AND when connected to a PC, they all read, I even downloaded and installed the app on my iPad and iPhone to read and use the drive (drive Mobile, i-USB-Stocker).

    I have Apple Care and reached out to their troubleshooting why and was advised that if he isn't an Apple drive, unit of time machine, or essentially bought in a store so that they will not support it.

    I use and hub USB external to add other readers USB, and these work fine.  I have looked at the system report and think I found the device, but do not yet appear on finder or display on the desktop like any other.

  • How can I delete my flash drive it tells me it is used

    2010 iMac desktop computer, last iOS.1015 El Capitan system

    I inserted a flash drive in order to print a file on it and I couldn't.

    Then I went on goolge and asked how to print from a flash drive, I realized that I can insert my USB in my printer.

    Now when I try to bring it down to throw it in the trash - I am told than others? use it, I'm out everything, even safari and he tells me the same thing?  Thank you...

    You could try to leave by force (Apple Menu > Force Quit...) the Finder that can hold in the file/disk.

    Restart should fix the problem.

    You could also simply disconnect the drive - while it is not generally recommended that it should be strong enough, if nothing is written on the disc.

    You can also use the Terminal commands to force deletions of files or to disassemble the disks, although applications can use them.

  • Flash drive not recognizing USB - c

    I just bought the new macbook 12 inches with the retina. I am very satisfied, but I'm having some trouble with two flash drives that I bought on Amazon. Sometimes, they recognize and sometimes they are not then I reboot

    and they work fine. What is happening to someone else? How can I fix?

    Others have noticed the same thing. Here are two threads, you might look at. In my eyes, there was not a single solution that works for most people with this problem. I do not recommend that you report your problem to Apple directly but I guess that they are aware.

  • HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF: external hard drive not detected in the BIOS. Only USB Flash drives are detected.

    Hi all

    I received recently 2 new HP desktop computers.

    HP Elitedesk 800 G2 SFF

    HP Elitedesk 800 G2 TWR

    The goal is to test our real W7 x 64 image on these machines and to inject the missing drivers in the image.

    MDT 2010 to create a deployment on a USB hard disk drive.

    This disc of deployment is already used on 16 different models of HP in the company (Elitebook, zBook, EliteDesk) to install our image so I know it works.

    Unfortunately, the two HP Elitedesk 800 G2, I can't start the boot disk but I cannot to USB for a USB key.

    The USB drive is not detected and not proposed in the BIOS Menu of STARTUP.

    Only the internal HD, external USB Flash Disk, DVD and network devices are detected.

    Here's what I already checked or tried:

    • Latest Version of the BIOS installed (2.05)
    • UEFI Boot has been disabled. (not supported by our record of deployment)
    • USB ports are enabled (front and rear).
    • All types of USB devices are allowed in the BIOS
    • The start command has been changed to start with USB devices.
    • Legacy support is active and Secure Boot disabled
    • Delete the keys to secure boot
    • Reset secure by default startup keys
    • This morning, I created a new disk deployment on a USB Flash drive and it works!

    So, it seems that only Flash USB drives are detected.

    I know it is possible to return the flag removalble on a USB device to cheat the system and make it appear as a disk fixed, but I want a simple solution.

    Does anyone know a fix or a workaround for this problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    For those interested in the answer, here's the final results.

    It turns out that the hard 500 GB external drive can be detected if it is fomatted in FAT32.

    It's strange because my 16 GB USB Flash drive formatted in NTFS works very well.

    In any case, I'll create a FAT32 Partition to the Boot MDT files and put my picture (because the file is too big for FAT32 partition) on the secondary partition (formatted as NTFS).

    Thanks to the technical pre-sales team of HP who helped me with this!
