How can I get a unrecognizable drive off a USB Superdrive

I inadvertently put a Windows (bla)! CD in my SuperDrive USB drive. When it is plugged into a USB 3.0 slot, the player will turn up, but will not create a disk image and therefor cannot be ejected. Any suggestions on how to take out the drive will be appreciated.

Open a Terminal

At the command prompt, copy and paste this command

drutil of external ejection

Press return

  • Drive mapping: How can I get my external drive be mapped to F: (as he was once) rather than g: which is what happens when I turn on now.

    How can I get my external drive be mapped to F: (as he was once) rather than g: which is what happens when I turn on now.  I tried to unplug and power, reboot etc.  There is no F: drive connected to the computer.

    Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / "disk management and select external reader by clicking on it and then right-click on it and select change drive letter and paths."  It should show the letter currently assigned (G I guess).  Click the button change.  To the right will be a drop of drive letters box.  Go ahead and select F and click on OK.  That should do it. If F is not available, then it is used by the system for something else.  Check disk management to see if you can find it.  If it is not, and is not available in the list, I'm afraid, you will not be able to change until find you what is using drive letter F and remove it, or change it to something else.

    I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try to understand what is using F or why it is not available.

    Good luck!

  • Installing Windows said "we have found no disk drives. How can I get a storage driver?

    My hard drives of computers were completely destroyed by overhead sprinklers during a fire. Installing Windows said "we have found no disk drives. How can I get a storage driver? I can't go online until I have install windows. Thank you

    Hello

    So it does not start from the disc, but when you get to the part where it asks me to choose a disk to install Windows, you do not see something here, is that correct? Go to the menu of the Bios (tap button "F2" at startup to access the Bios), then Advanced and check what you show for the SATA/operating Mode option.

  • How can I get a twain driver for CS5 for Windows 7?

    How can I get a twain driver for CS5 for Windows 7?

    Since you have photoshop cs5 in the x 86 program files, then you have the 32 and 64 bit versions of photoshop cs5 installed.

    the 64-bit version of photoshop cs5 is in

    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit)

    and the 32-bit version is in

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5



    If you have not changed anything in the menu programs, while two versions of photoshop cs5 should be included under Start > all programs



    Photoshop CS5 is the 32-bit version


    Photoshop CS5 (64 bit) is the 64-bit version


    You put the Twain plugin in Win32 folder from the link listed in the #1 message in the Photoshop CS5 32 bit Plug-Ins > import file

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Import-Export

    TWAIN plug-ins | Photoshop CS4, CS5, CS6

    VueScan that mentions Ronald Keller is also a good option if you do not want to be restricted to the use of the 32-bit version of photoshop cs5 to scan in photoshop.


    Scanner VueScan for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux software



    Photoshop cs5 should also be able to use WIA support for your scanner.

    It would be under the file > importantmenu t in photoshop cs5 after you have your scanner is connected and turned on

  • How can I get the SecureWebBHO malware off 33.03 FIrefox

    I use Firefox (version 33.03 now) as my main web browser. Recently, a number of regularly visited sites started acting strange. I also get random pop ups telling me that I need to update my video player, or the version of Java (my version is current). I checked the "add ons" in the menu control, nothing seems out of place (2 nVidia 3D Vision plugin, a VLC Web plug in, an OpenH264 CAP in Cisco). I pulled the top 11 IE to see if it had the same problem. He did. When I opened menu IE control and is gone to 'Manage Add-ons', he showed the BHO SecureWeb from a company called Jelbrus LLC. I disabled it in IE 11, and it runs correctly. I ran Windows Defender on a complete analysis. It says that there is 1 point, he says that she deleted. I ran the MalwareBytes Anti-Malware freeware version. It is said that he found 2 registry problems and a PUPPY (probably an unwanted program). Asked to quarantine problems. Problem persists try with Firefox, ONLY. My questions are: a) why is he not appear as an add-on or extension or a service? and (b) how can I get rid of this?

    Other information points:

It has been downloaded with a separate, non-infected, serious computer on DVD, and then I booted from the DVD player on infected patients * computer.

    ... How to get the driver from Dell for this printer info

    I have moved your post in the comments to the Windows, hardware and drivers section section, but have no idea which version of Windows that you are operating on. If your printer is compatible with the version of Windows you are using, you can download the drivers and support the Dell 944 all-in-one printer from Dell heresite software.
                                                   
    You mentioned that you have a new PC, so it is likely that you use one of the Windows 7 64-bit editions. If you want to check the hardware compatibility with Windows 7, you should try the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

    Edit: If you try to work around a problem of incompatibility of Windows 7, there's a solution posted in the following thread,
