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.

Under properties:

Type of device: USB FLash Drive

Maufacturer: unknown

Location: Port_ #0003.Hub_ #0008

USB\VID_1307 & PID_0163

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.

TMB - back

  • Windows XP Pro unable to detect the USB mass device

    Original title: USB

    I have a Western Digital ("My Passport Essential" WD3200ME) portable mass memory. My PC is running XP Pro with all the latest news from the security of Ms. In the last year or two, I noticed that it becomes progressively difficult for XP to recognize my USB mass storage device - sometimes, he took a reboot and repeated the reconnection of the device before the device is recognized. MS updates, the more difficult this because to make a connection. When it fails to connect, I get this annoying Hardware Wizard, which constantly to appear, asking Windows to search for the correct driver. I also have an old Pro XP PC I have installed all the updates latest MS, but it has XP SP3 installed. The old PC has no difficulty to recognize and connect to the same USB mass storage device. So I have 2 PC Pro XP: does not work with the latest updates from MS that gives connection problems to my USB mass storage and the other XP Pro base. Even if I bought another USB mass storage, it would probably suffer the same problem. What do you think is the problem?

    One of the best USB debugging of sites I've come across is this:

  • 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.

  • Satellite A200-1NF needs time to read the USB flash drive

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200-1NF, model No.: ETA 6-055021FR works with Windows 7.

    My problem is that my USB is plenty of time to read the USB keys.

    Could you please help me to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Sorry, but for me the question is not clear enough... Satellite A200 recognizes the connected USB MemoryStick?
    If he recognizes the USB device connected, then everything seems to be OK.

    By the way: you said that the laptop needs a lot of time reading the USB...
    How long does it take and have you checked if the number is displayed using different USB ports and different flash memory sticks?

  • 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.

  • Impossible to disconnect itself from USB storage devices

    Original title: USB storage devices

    Once more I couldn't properly disconnect a USB storage device because Windows tells me that a program is still using the device. There is no reason for any program to access it then why on earth isn't Windows the task/program name so that I can address the issue instead of having to restart my computer? Of the many irritants "characteristic" of Windows, it is one of the most galling.
