HP Compaq 8100 Elite: Boot interrupted by the USB storage device

If I have any sort of plugged when starting USB storage device, I just get a blank screen with a blinking cursor.

I disabled each device start-up apart from the internal SATA hard drive and it still happens.

Finally I found a BIOS update.

On the HP consumer Support Site? NO.

On an alley, ad - ridden, dirty pilots-for-all site.

Anyway. It worked

  • Windows 7 is no longer reads the USB storage devices

    I have a problem similar to some other posts, but different enough so that I write it here.

    When I insert a USB storage device (like a Microcenter * Go Flash) Windows 7 Ultimate just shows a yellow exclamation mark next to the device in Device Manager. OtherDevices, USB Flash drive. Software update driver fails, no update.  Uninstalling and reinstalling has no effect.

    There is no ping, no popup. Nothing. All this used to work very well, and now, when I need to copy files to work urgrnetly, he's dead.

    Just rub a little salt, I CAN access the device through Linux in VMWare Workstation. But when vmware is not current execution, or when I disconnect and try to attach to host, nothing happens.

    I tried each storage device USB I can find and no luck on any of them.

    Thank you

    After digging through the forums, I tried to copy the usbstor.inf and .pnf to the Windows\inf directory and reinstalled the driver through the Device Manager, and it loaded right up.

    I don't know, but I suspect that the impact of this change, there are other devices that can complain. For now, the process of transfer between W7 and VMWARE/linux seems flawless.

  • E4200 with Win 7 - could not connect to the sharing of files on the USB storage device

    Hi, I tried several disks now, but am mainly interested in getting my Iomega 1 TB drive to work, but none of the 3 I tried to do. None of the USB drives I had when buying this router on the list of "approved" ridiculously short which is of course not noticed when buying the router, but the discs are recognized, I can FTP to one of them (Filezilla), format, create to-DOS, etc. via the web interface... the only thing that does not seem to work is to map the created actions. The error obtained net use is 'System error 1231' giving in 'Map network drive', 'Windows cannot access\\192.168.1.1' with 0x800704cf error code. I get what I pass credentials or not. Please advise, external storage has been the main reason that I bought this router and I need to know if I should return it. Thank you

    I know that sounds totally absurd given that FTP and what - not worked, but I swapped the USB cable I was using between readers and the router, and presto, it worked. I been in this business a lot of time and work with Cisco equipment all the time, so I know how ridiculous, this sounds like a solution, and perhaps in the context of permutation that cable thing happened I can't remember since I was a package 6 deep at the time... but it works now... now, if I can get just the AVI 1080 p files to stream to Xbox 360 without the video do rough I will be gold... but that's another thread. Thank you all.

    Use an adapter for your 2nd diet, it's what has worked for me.

    5.00 after all my research I've found the answer, it's not pretty, but it works.

    Plug one of your SATA power to branch (from your current diet) on the cable resulting, plug your new power supply ATX ATX plug adapter and you're good to go. When your old power supply switch on the adapter will turn on your new, it's great.

    Add2PSU is an adapter popular http://www.add2psu.com/

    You could buy a dedicated power supply if you can find one, but I recommend not, they are expensive, make a lot of noise and heat.

    It was a nightmare for me and I don't want other people to have to go through what I did.

  • When a pop-up message indicates that a storage device has just been attached and I don't put a USB storage device into the computer at all, what that means?

    From time to time, (isn't that every now and then, not every day or every week) a message appears on the computer screen to notify that "a storage device has been attached... and something or other on a port '-as it would if a new hardware device had just been installed or removed... only, I have not attached at a storage device.

    Why would this happen unless I had personally inserted/joint a USB stick storage device myself in my computer?

    And if it's an error of some sort, how to fix this problem?

    Please notify. Thank you.

    This probably means you have a bad USB connection somewhere.  I got this a lot when I used markets good USB hubs.  It also happened a lot on a couple of the USB plugs on my old laptop 4 year, where I had plugged in and out things in them so that the connectors are not as strong as they were when new.  My main office more connected devices above that outputs 4 USB, that I had on the back, so I finally bought a card extension to add 4 more exits USB.  If this is your case, perhaps you could do the same.  Expansion cards are not very expensive, usually in the range of $ 15 to $ 25, and they are fairly simple to install.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

    When you have a USB drive connected and turned on, there will be a USB plug with a green show check ICON on your taskbar clock and stuff.

    Click on it and select the device you want to eject.

    As a warning... Win 8 has something that I was not able to figure out yet.

    Instead of the usual "Safe To Remove Hardware" message, I get "Impossible for-disconnector is in use" even if it is not.

    I was just clicking OK essentially and unplug then... I've yet to lose any info.

    You may or may not have this problem, but I thought I should give a heads up.
