How do I remove the USB key in Windows 7

I just upgraded from Vista x 64 to Windows 7 Home Premium x 64. All right, as far as I can tell, but I don't see any way to stop or remove a USB HDD. When I am using a flash drive, the context menu offers the possibility to "Eject", but this option does not appear for USB drives. What Miss me?

The icon 'Remove hardware safely' is available for USB drives, too. It mine, shows anyway. You probably just hid it. Win7 does not display the default icon more.

In fact, Win7 'probably remove' features of a really nice feature missing in previous MS operating systems - it actually tells you what device you clear safely. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hello Janette,

    Welcome to the community of Sony.

    The EXT of the Blu - ray player Jack is used to connect a USB FlashDrive as a local storage device. This USB key is required to take advantage of content (such as BONUSVIEW/BD-LIVE) on certain Blu - ray Disc titles. The EXT socket cannot be used to play media files from a USB key.

  • How can I remove the USB startup file?

    Hi guys,.

    I had a USB bootable for BIOS update. Now the default USB format is FAT32 and when I restart my laptop with the USB pluged, I error boot manager missing I. I want to delete these files permanantly USB!
    I used DISKPART and Bootable USB software to make my Bootable USB.
    Comments or suggestions will be appreciated, thanks

    You can use DISKPART again, I think.

    C:\ > diskpart
    DISKPART > list disk
    (A list of your series of disks)
    DISKPART > select disk (whatever number is the USB stick)
    (Disk nn is now selected)
    DISKPART > clean
    DISKPART > create partition primary
    DISKPART > exit
    C:\ >

    Now you can format the drive and (if you want) assign a drive letter.

  • Have two Copies of Windows XP Home Edition on the computer. How can I remove the original copy of Windows?

    Recently, I had to reinstall the operating system on my computer because I became aware of virus and I couldn't afford to take it to a professional, and I thought I could fix it myself. I decided to go ahead, but I discovered when I booted my computer, it shows the first copy of Windows as well as the new copy, which, in fact, turns out to be better than the original. Now, I would like to know how to remove the first one because it takes a lot of memory space and it for lack of place the proformance with the second copy. If it's too complicated and you think I should take it to someone who knows better than me, then so be it. If it is not too much to ask, I would like to have an answer soon enough. Thank you, Christine

    This might help...

  • How can I find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium (preinstalled) as sticker has worn through.

    Someone knows if the product key is stored in any file on windows.  Or does anyone know if Microsoft will have kept no record of the product key and can send information.

    The short answer is no.

    Even if a product key is stored in Windows and can be retrieved by various utilities third keyfinder, when Windows was preinstalled, this key is a special key used by the manufacturer of the computer to automatically activate Windows when, for example, you use the manufacturer method to restore the computer to its factory condition.

    This key can be used if you want to reinstall using a Windows CD/DVD installation that you have purchased.  To do this, you use the key on the COA label on your machine.

    If you need this key, your most likely solution is to use a bright light and a magnifying glass.  If it is completely unreadable, it is possible - though unlikely - that the manufacturer of the computer (non-Microsoft) can be useful.

    No key will be useful if you want to install Windows on another computer.  OEM (preinstalled) Microsoft software product keys are valid only for the computer on which the software was first installed.

  • How can I remove the menu bar in Windows Explorer?

    I have Windows 7 (x 64). In windows Explorer, the menu bar will not go if I press ALT. Also, I went into the menu "Organize" and went to "provision". Display of the menu bar has been disabled. I even checked "View" tab in the folder options and the display of the menu bar option is disabled here also. I tried to restart, but which did not help either. So, what should I do? The menu bar that bothers me a lot. So, ill reinstall windows if I can't find a way to remove it.

    So I guess the menu bar also refused to go when you were in safe mode.  If so, it narrows at least it down to a Windows problem.  If the system is free of any software malicious then the fault lies with Windows being corrupt.

    If SFC has reported no problems then only clean boot procedures could narrow things down to the component of Windows 7 that is the cause of the problem.

    You may find that the boot is too tedious & skip to what is called an in Place Upgrade or repair installation using your installation DVD. It's better than a reinstall full as it leaves your applications & intact user files.

  • How can I remove the rundllentry error in Windows 98?

    error message rundllentry

    Microsoft Windows 98 has not been supported since about 2006, so you're unlikely to get a response from Microsoft outside the upgrade to an operating system, that will almost certainly require the purchase of a new PC.

    That out of the way, there are three questions come to mind:

    • What is the exact wording of the error message?
    • If the error still appears, when does it appear?
    • Have you installed or updated applications shortly before the error started appearing?
