• 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. :)

• BlackBerry showing only not as mass storage device

  When I connect my blackberry to my Vista computer, it does recognize it as a storage device.

  Hi RodneyThomas,

  Do you get any error messages? What is the exact error message?

  ·         Find out which software and devices are and are not compatible with Windows Vista.

  ·         Look for links to drivers and upgrades that will make your compatible computer.

  Windows compatibility:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility

  Try to install the software by using compatibility mode:

  Run the program compatibility Wizard

  1. open the program compatibility Wizard the by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, clicking programs, and then clicking on use an older with this version of Windows program.

  2. follow the directions in the wizard.

  If you are unable to install a program, insert the installation for the program and, using the wizard disk, navigate to the program setup file, usually called Setup.exe, Install.exe, or something similar. The wizard is not designed to work on programs that have an .msi file name extension.

  Hey everybody,

  Just like everyone else, I get a pop-up message when trying to eject my external hard drive WD: "problem ejecting USB Mass Storage Device. Windows can't stop... "and so on." This does not work when I've only sailed on the disk, but it does, for example, when I made a mistake - check or make a backup. I already checked the forums, but unlike everyone else, third-party programs do not work for me.
  I did the following:

  -closed open task

  -disabled virus scanner

  -used Unlocker and Process Explorer, but he can't find any process that locks my drive. What happens here?

  -rebooted in safe mode

  -disabled indexing

  It makes me crazy that I have to restart whenever I want my drive to eject.

  Oh, and I use Windows 7.

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Connecting and disconnecting USB devices:

   

  Most USB devices can be removed and disconnected at will. When you unplug the devices of storage, such as USB flash drives, you should be sure that the computer has finished saving all the information on the device before removing it. If the device has an activity light, wait a few seconds after the light has finished flashing before unplugging.

  If you see the icon remove the device safely in to the far right of the taskbar notification area, you can use this to ensure that devices have finished all operations in progress and are ready to remove. Click the icon and you will see a list of devices. Click the device you want to remove.

  You can use any USB port when you plug in a device you have installed beforehand. However, the first time you connect a device to a particular port, Windows will install the driver for this device again.

  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.
