  Hi Jessica,.

  The Code 10 error code is generated when the Device Manager has not enough information or error that spread upwards by device drivers is not recognized by Device Manager. In addition, this error may occur if one of the pilots who needs the unit does not start. If multiple drivers are used by a particular device, it can be difficult to determine which failed.

  I suggest you follow the steps in the link given below which will help you solve this problem.

• Re: NB550D - 'No mass storage devices' during the installation of Windows

  Hello!

  I recently bought a laptop Toshiba NB550D. It goes with Windows 7 Starter. So I decided to change the operating system, I want XP Pro or Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. Because the laptop is not a CD/DVD drive, I looked on the net for Windows USB installation.

  Problem is that when I install the USB, with regard to the partitions, it says I have no mass storage devices. I tried with XP and Home Premium, used 2 different programs to make bootable USB (WinSetupFromUSB and WinToFlash) and I tried with 3 different USBs to be sure that the problem is not of them. Both seem to do the job, but it still says I have no mass storage devices. I read on this forum, found [how to integrate a SATA AHCI driver into a Windows XP installation CD | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB85017Z0000R01.htm] thread. I tried this, make an ISO with the built-in driver, made an another bootable USB key with it, but still, when I reached the partitions, they seem to be missing.

  I checked if the partitions will show if I start installing Windows directly from the Explorer to the laptop and partitions are then normally, so it seems that the problem only occurs when you try to install from a USB. But I want a * install own bootable *. I have no CD/DVD lens, so this isn't an option more.

  I'm really out of options on the left, tried everything I thought, it seems that I'm not the only one having this problem, but found no solution to it. Even if I put up with the Starter (even if I don't like), the HARD disk is separated into 2 partitions the two 116GB which is also very annoying.

  I'd appreciate any help! Thanks in advance!

  P.S. I also installed the latest drivers, BIOS seems to be too, but still did not help.

  Hey,.

  Which AHCI driver, I joined?

  Article you found how is just an example and is written for models with Intel chipset. I checked the NB550D specifications and this model has chipset AMD A50M, so you need another driver and the Intel driver will not work.

  So if you are looking for Toshiba NB550D European driver download page, you will see a driver called AHCI driver. This package contains the correct AHCI driver, but the problem is e for Windows 7 only. For obsolete XP it will not designed more pilots and that AMD is brand new. There is no old drivers.

  If you want to only Windows 7 Home Premium that s no problem. Therefore, you can use the mentioned AHCI driver. For example, to create a new Windows 7 bootable USB key with this driver and installation should work fine. :)

• Message "USB Mass Storage Device does not work properly"

  Ran AVG PC tune up and referred the problem message "USB storage device work does not correctly. I went to Device Manager, clicked on "bus USB controllers. He showed the device with a yellow exclamation point USB mass storage. I have double clicked on it, went to the drivers and updated the driver. I received a message that the driver was already updated and got a message "device cannot start (code 10).»

  I thought that maybe he was looking for the storage device of mass external and plugged on the USB port. He has shown in the Device Manager under the other mass storage device but had no yellow exclamation point (I guess that means it's very good).

  Is there an internal procedure and what can I do about this problem? My development program, said that this mistake could cause my computer crashes often or he can go for a long time without replying (which it does).

  Hate to be chatty but I wanted to present all the facts.

  Can someone please help me get this figured out? Thank you in advance.

  Hello Sammy,.

  Please provide detailed information about your question. I appreciate the step by step troubleshooting, and pain that you have taken to resolve your problem. However, there are a few steps more that we can try to diagnose the root cause and to check the health of your system, to solve the problem permanently.

  Microsoft does not recommend using third party software melody. That running these software can damage records.

  For the problem with the error code 10, I would ask you to try the steps below:

  A Code 10 error is generated in the Device Manager in one of the following situations:

  1. Device Manager cannot start the device.
  2. One of the pilots who needs the unit does not start.
  3. The Device Manager has insufficient information to recognize the error that spread upwards by the device driver.

  Note: In this case, the Code 10 error can be a very generic message indicating some sort of unspecified driver or device problem.

  Error Code 10 is mainly related to devices and hardware driver problems or compatibility problems between the drivers of equipment and additional software that is installed in Windows. Therefore, we recommend that solve you these problems with emphasis on device drivers, configuration of device problems and hardware compatibility issues.

  I suggest you to follow the steps described in the following Microsoft article and see if it works for you.

  FIX: "this device cannot start" error Code 10 in the Device Manager in Windows

  Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer and the result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

  Thank you.
