Removal of a USB storage device translates to a non-existent drive letter that appears.

If I plug in a USB flash drive or USB hard drive classic as a WD passport, in one of the USB ports on a G71150US with Win 7 home premium, then remove it, a new hard drive symbol and the letter displayed in Explorer 'computer '. This symbol indicates that there are 0 bytes in use and 0 bytes used or free.  This happens even if I followed the correct procedure and use the process of "remove".

What is the problem, a BIOS problem?  A Win 7 problem?

The problem seems to be related to "Version of Office 2010 Starter and click to Run" part of this software that is bundled with most new computers. I uninstalled the files for Office 2010, click here to run Office 2010 and the uninstalled starter 'Office 2010' version and the ghost car is no longer.

  • Notification of 'removed USB storage device' persistent.

    Hello

    My motorcycle G shows after persistent notification.

    'USB storage deleted '.

    Removed USB storage. Insert new media. "

    This notification is displayed after removing the Flash drive by removing it from settings-> storage and pulling the OTG with the drive cable. The notification seems to be stubborn and it can not be erased it unless the device is reset. It isn't harmful, but because of my OCD (mandatory disorder that) for the verification of notifications is causing irritation.

    I notice that only KitKat 4.4.2 and not JellyBean 4.3.

    Any ideas to clear the notification? or is this a bug?

    Thank you

  • 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.

    In fact, apart from the scanner, printer and keyboard connected, which are already inserted until the computer is turned on, no USB storage device or any other thing seized or inserted into the computer when this message is displayed on the lower right screen where the icons on the desktop are,

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

    I'm afraid that maybe someone to access details and store information from a remote location via a storage device? Is this possible?

    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.

  • Windows 7 is no longer reads the USB storage devices

    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.

  • Statellite M100 does not recognize USB storage devices or SD card

    I had problems with my laptop Toshiba Satellite M100 series read don't not Sandisk SD card in the camera to my son - is a 2 GB card and what I read online, maybe that is the problem BUT the laptop is also not reading any of my devices USB "stick". When I insert the SD card or a USB 'stick' he asks me to install the driver software that is simply stupid. I tried to connect the camera via a usb cable too and it does not recognize the device and still once, claims the driver software device.

    I looked on the toshiba site and have installed all updates that I thought may be justified, I'm also trying to run Windows update (at least every 2nd week anyway so it shouldn't be a problem). I am running Vista Home Edition (32 bit). The USB ports have certainly worked in the past, I don't really want to resort to execution of recovery discs if I have as I don't want to lose all the stuff I've stored.

    Question of the SD Card/USB seems to be a common one, but I can't find a specific patch to this topic or any other tech site, any suggestions?

    See you soon

    In your case, I would do two things.

    First: Check if a new BIOS is available. Search on the Toshiba site and do an update.

    Second: Reinstall the laptop with the recovery discs. I know that you will lose all the data, but you can save it to s DVD or external HARD drive.

  • Disable "HP Smart Intall" for USB storage devices

    Details

    OS: Windows 7 x 64

    Laptop: HP Probook s 4540

    Printer: HP P1600

    After using an HP printer to my work and have installed the drivers "HP Smart Install" has been installed in a form any driver (?) USB.

    The option to double click default to any storage device that is inserted into a USB port is now 'HP Smart Install ". I can't remove this function.

    I deleted all the drivers for the USB via Device Manager - this has not fixed the problem.

    I reformatted the USB (was not empty in the first place - no autoplay files)-no solution.

    I returned all the default media - no fix AutoPlay options.

    I used SIUtility.exe HP printer drivers and used PC > disable HP Smart Install - no solution.

    I completely uninstalled all the computer - no fix HP printer drivers.

    This is a screenshot of the feature that I start to remove - http://i.imgur.com/v1IcdZ0.png

    Can you please advise how do I completely remove this feature as default double click for a storage device is to "explore".

    AngusMacsalvation,

    Sorry that it was not an option to turn off the Smart Install from the integrated Web server.

    I was check this.

    Make sure that you run the CD files or program uninstall.

    In this way, it must delete all the registry files.

    Make sure that the USB cable from the printer is disconnected.

    Here are the steps to run the uninstall of the computer or the CD.

    To uninstall program files:
    Go to start and select a computer.
    Select the C drive.
    Select the program files or program files x 86.
    Open the HP name and printer folder.
    Select uninstall.

    Uninstall from the CD:
    Go start, computer, right click on the CD for the printer, left click Open in a new window, double click on uninstall.

    Remove drivers in server properties, if they are still worn.

    Go to start, devices and printers.
    Highlight any printer.
    Click the print server properties in the upper part.

    Click the tab drivers at the top of the print server properties window.

    Choose the printer that you want to uninstall, and then click on remove.

    The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that the removal of the driver package will remove it from the system. Click Yes to say that you are sure you want to do.

    Then in the window devices and printers, right click on your printer and remove the device if the printer is still listed.

    If the printer doesn't figure yet in the Device Manager or in the registry, we would delete there also.

    Keep me posted.
