  • USB (external hard drive) device no power down / off when safely removed in Windows 7

    Well, I asked this question and no one seems to respond, I also found that many people want to solve this problem so here, it's once again

    Whne you have a hard drive that is not a switch on/off button that you who wait when you remove safely from the windows, he stops, so you shouldn't have to disconnect form the usb slot to do.
    And it happens in WIndows XP, but it is NOT in Windows 7 (or that I read, in Vista as well).

    I want to know, because it bothers me really, what is the solution?

    What I want is, after I click on "remove" my external hard drive, that what he would have turned off (standby) as it does in Windows XP!

    Help please.

    Hi gala,.

    Thank you for visiting the community Microsoft Windows 7.  The feature remove the device safely does not power supplied to a USB device in Windows. By design, the port to which the device is attached is not interrupted in Windows when the unit is softer.

    Please let us know if this helped.

  • PC DM files: my hard drive is currently filled by PC DM files in my folder/Public user folder. How can I safely remove the right files in this folder?

    My hard drive is currently filled by PC DM files in my folder/Public user folder.  How can I safely remove the right files in this folder?  Vista Home Premium 64 bit is my os.

    Hi templar_39,

    DM (Message Delivery) file types are not Windows files, they can be generated by a third-party program.

    This particular file type is often associated with audio data and can be hosted on some cell phones to be used as ringtones or multimedia clips. To my knowledge, these files can be generated by your mobile phone.

    Note: you can go ahead and remove these files only if you notice that the files do not contain any important information.

    If this happens without connect you all devices (like mobile PHONES), this may be a virus or malware activity. You can run a virus scan to get rid of them

    Step 1: A scanner online for any threat and try to correct

  • I just plugged my camera and uploaded new photos for my Creative Memories Photo Manager. Now when I go to the Safely Remove Hardware my camera does not show... only my external hard drive.

    I have a new computer.  We have been plug an external hard drive to move my photos in the new computer.

    I just plugged my camera and uploaded new photos for my Creative Memories Photo Manager.  Now when I go to the Safely Remove Hardware my camera does not show... only my external hard drive.  I'm afraid of getting my camera.

    Thank you

    Creative Memories Photo Manager probably ejected your camera after you import the images. Check the default settings and change them if you prefer something different.

    If your camera is not displayed as ejection, it is safe to remove it. Damage to the file system wouldn't be possible, but not certain, if he had written active file or buffer not released when the device has been deleted.
  • Cannot find modem on the menu of material safely remove?

    Hi Sir, I am using a windows 8 pc pro. My problem is that I can't find my reliance netconnect 1 x (eject option) safely remove hardware menu even when the device is connected. So I ping the device without eject, but the next time machine no longer works, and it will not work unless I have uninstall and install again. Please give me the solution to my problem or any other way to eject the device safely...

    I don't worry about this.  Unless it is said expressly in the notice of the Modem you need of this option, it is probably fine.  Many devices is designed to be "hot-swapped" at any time, no necessary ejection.  This is especially true for devices that are not hard drives.  This is why you can't "remove" by printer or another.

  • Impossible to safely remove external USB HDD - ejection of mass storage device problem

    Hello

    I have a 250 toshiba external hard drive. "When I go safely remove device and click on stop, guests me that ' ejection of mass storage device problem and try later.

    Is there a reason for this? As I have heard it is dangerous to pull the cord without stopping it first.

    This happens usually when something is always access to the USB - HDD.
    Yes, it s dangerous to pull on the cable, because you can lose some data and the file system may be damaged. But if you have a situation where you need the drive to take with you and want to just get out the cable to the USB port there is a little trick to disconnect the security apparatus:

    Do right click on 'My Computer'-> click on Hardware-> click "devicemanager"-> go into "diskdrives"-> then you need to click on the drive that is your USB - HDD-> with the right button and then click on 'Properties'-> in the menu properties of this drive, you must go on "policies" and click on "optimize for quick removal"-> and then click OK and exit this menu and all-> perform a reboot-> closing information fact. :)

    After that, it s safe for remove you your drive even if it s not ejected. :)

  • Safely remove the device does not work.

    I would like to know if someone has problems with delete material it and eject the media safely? When when I move the mouse over the icon it reads safely remove hardware and eject the media, but when I click the icon, nothing happens. I don't want to corrupt my external hard drive by pulling out the plug. Any ideas?

    If you're not pushing the drive for all the possible performance it can give, you can disable the write cache and you won't need to use 'remove hardware safely' after it.  To change it, open Device Manager and expand the section hard drives.  Find the drive click the right button and select "Properties".  Under the "policies" tab, you will see two choices - 'quick release' and 'best performance' - with explanations for each.  As you will see in the explanations, if you select "quick withdrawal" you can simply disconnect the device at any time without going through the routine 'remove hardware safely '.

    Thank you

  • SATA 3 6 GB showing in safely remove hardware?

    I just installed a new hard drive WD SATA 3 (WD1002FAEX)
    and it shows in the remove hardware safely. I found this fix:

    How Stop disk appearing in Safely Remove Hardware
    It seems that Windows 7, some sata ports are incorrectly installed as external ports by default.

    A difficulty lies in the document located at:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/eSATA.mspx

    Right-click on command prompt and select "Run as Administrator";

    Copy and paste the following command into the command prompt:

    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci\Controller (n) (N) \Channel" / f/v TreatAsInternalPort /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

    Change (n) for the COMP contoller - 0 on my machine, IE. 'Controller0' and change (N) to the SATA port number - 1-5 on my machine, IE. Channel 1, canal2, canal3... etc.

    You can check what number of controller and ports using regedit to check the registry keys. The keys can also be added while your there.

    on a forum but do not know how to find what controller and channel my new drive is underway. The poster says I can do this with regedit, but I don't know where to look or what to look for. Can anyone help?  Also I'm not sure if I even use this command prompt to resolve my problem.

    The BIOS settings to see if one of its SATA ports is able to be designated as eSATA, you should look in your motherboard.  It would be for use with SATA external readers that you could concievably want to be hot swappable. BIOS will also tell you which lead your hardrives controllers and optical drives are connected to the.

  • Satellite L750-A218 - how easily / safely remove the MMC card

    Hello

    I just tried the MMS and inserted a MMC console.
    I have a question now. After eject devices.

    How to remove it properly. I tried pushing gently so that it would make the ticking and make out but that has not worked. I didn't force and ruin the slot. I can get out, but I have to raise the laptop.
    On the user manual. Those are the steps for removal:

    1. open the icon remove the device safely and eject media on the Windows taskbar.
    2. tap media memory and click on the left Touch Pad button.
    3. Enter the media up and out of the computer to remove it.

    I have not quite step 2. Please explain to me how easily / safely remove the MMC on this laptop.
    Also, tell me if pushing the MMC will be out or not.

    Hello

    What card insert you? MMC (MultiMediaCard)?
    Usually you will need to enter the card and pull it out of the computer s slot to remove the media but when you insert the support of memory in the wrong direction, you will not be able to remove

    > I have not quite step 2. Please explain to me how easily / safely remove the MMC on this laptop.
    In most cases the task bar contains a small icon showing that the media card is inserted...
    We must therefore stop this read/write process before removing the card...

  • Cannot eject the disc hard ultrabay in ' Safely Remove Hardware and and eject the media.

    Just installed my T430s with Win7 x 64.
    But I have a problem to the ejection of my hard drive in ultrabay using the icon "Safely Remove Hardware and and eject the media.

    I installed the latest Intel Rapid storage driver (RST) worm. 12.8.10.1005 download of Lenovo.

    UltraBay drive hard not in the list using the driver Lenovo RST!

    If I use the native Win7 driver (Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller), it works:

    Works very well using native driver.

    I guess that the Intel RST pilot could have some improvements to the native driver... so I would frefer using them.

    This is what it looks like in Device Manager:
    Driver Intel RST:

    Win7 x 64 native driver:

    Suggestions... someone at - it a newer driver of RST?
    Tried to find one at Intel without luck :-(

    I tried today with 4 different drivers and here is the result:
    1: "Lenovo" RST driver version 12.8.10.1005: best performance of all. Does NOT support ultrabay ejct!
    2: Intel RST driver ver. 12.9.0.1001: a little slower than 1. Support ultrabay eject!
    3: Intel RST driver ver. 13.1.0.1058: a little bit faster than 2, but not as fast as 1. Support ultrabay eject!

    4: Win7 x 64 native driver AHCI: a little slower than the others. Support ultrabay eject!

    Test drive: Micron C400 256 GB

    Also tried Intel 320 128 GB and using this disc the native driver was also fast drivers Intel RST (did not try the 'Lenovo' RST).

    How to join Lenovo for the 'Lenovo' fixed driver?

    How to remove safely remove the icon of the DVD RW AD ATA device optiarc 7561 taskbar for windows vista

    Hello Mark G,.

    I think that Christopher was referring to right click on the remove safely icon on the taskbar and choosing then to remove it safely.

    Otherwise, this may be a feature of the device driver and the device manufacturer may be able to tell how.
