Disabling of USB Mass Storage affects Default Printer setup

When I try to disable USB Mass Storage using HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\UsbStor equals
4, the default local Printer i.e. HP LaserJet Pro 400 - M401D stopped working.
To avoid this thing, I have to once again enable the USB feature using
3 and re-install the printer driver along with all its application.
It never happened when tried in Windows XP Professional earlier.
Can you please provide solution of this?

Hi,
In Windows 7, you can disable USB by following GPO:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Removable Storage Access
Removable Disks: Deny execute access Enabled
Removable Disks: Deny read access Enabled
Removable Disks: Deny write access Enabled

  • Any software or tool for disable USB mass storage ?

    Hi,
    I am a trainee IT admin in a company with 300+ Mac machines.
    we have integrated all systems in a domain hosted on Windows Server for authentication.
    For disabling USB mass storage, we have manually removed .kext file from all machines. But it was quite a difficult job and need to perform every-time after  Software Update.
    Is there any alternate way or a Software/Tool which can disable USB mass storage permanently ?
    Thanks in advance.
    SP

    Sure.  This is cake.  MCX supports this.  How are the Macs configured?  Are they bound to Active Directory?  Open Directory?  JAMF?  The state of directory association/management will determine how you implement.

  • USB Mass Storage function Z10

    Hi guys.
    I use my Z10 as a USB drive to play music from my car stereo & others. 
    To do thay i go to:
    1. Configuration
    2. Storage & Access
    3. Media Card Details --> Turn on USB mass sotrage
    However, I have to do this setting every time my phone reboot because my selections is just forgiveen by the configration settings. The problem is that too many days a week i drain my battery so the phone turn off and the USB mass storage functions is disable.
    Is there any way to set this setting to ON just one time, and when the phone is restarted it dont go automatically to OFF state?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey buddy.
    I came across the same query when I first got my Z10. I tried every / any way possible to have it defaulted as "ON" though there isn't.
    So for the meantime we will need to do this extra step every time our phones restart (until BB rolls out an update which does otherwise). I'm sure we're not the only ones who have run into this annoying un-user-friendly step.

  • Conflict w/Other USB Mass Storage

    I have tried 2x now to get the iPod Shuffle and my Segate Free Agent USB Mass Storage drive to co-exist to no avail. I have re-lettered the iPod to another drive letter, although it defaulted to G and my Mass Storage is F. I have tried changing USB slot positions, nothing. I looked at the MS site and looked at the fix for New Drive or Mapped Network Drive not available and at this point have not applied the hot fix. My USB driver is version 5.1.2600.0 from July 2001.
    I am about ready to give up on the iPod unless someone has a suggestion.

    I was having the exact same problem with a Seagate Freeagent 250GB and 2 different shuffles. I just got it resolved. I had to add a pci usb2 card to my system. I was looking in the device manager and noticed that there was only 1 usb2 controller listed. I guess my system could only handle 1 usb2 device at a time. You'd think one device would default back to usb 1.1, but I guess not.

  • K8N SLI Issue - USB Mass Storage Issue

    New install.  I have an issue with the USB Mass Storage device on my Canon printer.
    When the machine boots, it pauses just on bootup for about 5 minutes.  Pauses right after displaying the CPU information.
    It eventually boots up into windows, but shows a yellow exclamation mark on 'USB Mass Storage Device'.  I have tried uninstalling the printer drivers and reinstalling with no luck.  If I pull the USB printer plug and then boot, I have no issues.
    I've upgraded to the newest bios.  I feel like even if I could fix the Windows driver issue, it might not help since the main pause is in the Bios startup...
    Any ideas?

    hi Zepp,
    Welcome to the forum
    Most common issue with usb is front case USB lead. if you have a lead connected to jusb1 or jusb2 on the mobo disconnect it & see if u still have issues. The reason is shown if your front usb does NOT work with your k7n2 board read this you'll see from the title it's not just the neo4
    Have you a usb memory stick or anything else plugged in.
    luck

  • USB Mass Storage Device - ?

    Shuffle shows up as a USB Mass Storage Device under the drive (USB Port) i plug it into.
    It will not take an update or reformat.
    Wondering if it is possible that the factory format could be erased and now the unit is just being recognized as a storage device and unable to be used in the manner it was originally intended for...MUSIC.?
    What does it mean when you get a message "Media in Drive - Changed" ?
    Fixed many other ipods in past but only one shuffle so far....now this one has me going...no clue what else i can do to it.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    i think it was trying to read the shuffle when i wanted to format and restore.
    i never did get it to work.
    no way of knowing now..i just got through tearing into this one to make one good shuffle out of the two i was working on.
    all was good till i went to put the slide bar on/off switch back on....broke the switch again.
    do you have a switch?
    thanks

  • USB Mass Storage device problem

    Hello, I cant use my USB mass storage device in my computer, it is a SanDisk ImageMate CF/SM unit, which works perfectly in every other computer I have tried it, but in this one it hangs while accessing the device, and in linux, it hangs while mounting it (the same thing).
    I dont know what might the problem be but some other people have seen the same problem, perhaps someone here can help me.

    Yeah, I though so, but first I wanted to know what might be causing this incompatibility, in the linux posts people have said that it is a nForce2 generic problem, perhaps a big nvidia bug? heh

  • USB Mass Storage Device won't Eject/Unmount

    My brother bought a Sanyo ICR-B180NX digital voice recorder last year to use with his iBook. It was working very well up until about August of 2005. At that point, the recorder would mount on the desktop, and he could get all the files off (it records direct to MP3 format rather than WMV, so he can edit his files very easily), but when it came time to eject it, the device icon would disappear and then immediately re-appear on the desktop. The display on the voice recorder remained static at the "Connect" screen.
    I believe this happened in conjunction with some sort of OS update, as it was a "sudden" thing. We can't quite recall what happened between the times it worked and the time it stopped working.
    I have tried the device on a PC, and it works the way it should, so I don't believe there's anything wrong with it.
    Now, I know the system requirements on the website say that you must have Windows, but a statement from a support company (we returned it to the place where we got it, and they sent it out for repairs, and it came back with a letter) states that the device does act as a generic Mass Storage device, and thus may work with most systems.
    All my other USB storage devices (ie. SanDisk 12-in-1 card reader, SanDisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB, iPod Photo), and FireWire devices (ie. WiebeTech TrayDock Extreme) work fine and unmount fine.
    Does anyone know of any changes to the way Mass Storage devices are ejected in the current iteration of the OS? I haven't had a chance to test the device under an older OS, but will soon.
    Alternately, if anyone has any suggestions regarding replacements (not really looking forward to that, given this recorder cost almost $300CAD), let me know. We need a device that can plug in via USB and transfer files to his iBook which he can edit together (he's a newspaper reporter in training, and needs to edit the interviews to take out such things like dead air, etc).
    Thanks!

    Hi
    +USB mass storage device. An error occurred during the installation of the device the data is invalid+
    This typical error message appears if the installation of external USB devices failed.
    Why? This is not easy to say
    What you could do firstly is to clean your registry using the freeware software called CCleaner (Google for that).
    Install it and clean your OS and the registry entries.
    After cleaning access the device manager and remove all USB root hubs and all USB Host controllers from the device list and reboot the notebook.
    New reboot should cause a new installation of USB drivers.
    Finally try to connect and try to install your external USB devices again.

  • Windows 7 64-bit not loading USB mass storage driver

    I have a rather strange problem with my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  Everything seems to work fine except for USB mass storage devices.  I have USB keyboard, mouse and even a USB audio (wireless headset) all working fine on the computer.  But
    any USB external drive, thumdrive or USB card reader with flash cards inserted into the USB port of my computer won't work.
    Windows keeps reporting that it is unable to find the driver.  When I go into the Device Manager console and choose to manually update the driver, then point it to the C:\Windows (with search for sub-directories enabled), it detects the USB Mass Storage
    driver but complains that it is unable to load it.  The exact message is this:  Windows found driver software for your device but encountered error while attempting to install it.  USB Mass Storage Device.  The system cannot find the file
    specified.
    This happens to ALL USB Mass storage device, and it doesn't matter which port I plug the device into.
    Here's the weird thing, I have VMware Workstation installed on this computer and if I power on a VM that runs Windows 7 32-bit as the Guest OS and connect the USB storage devices to the guest OS via VMware Workstation, the USB storage devices work!
    So it would appear that the USB ports are functioning properly but for some reasons, my Windows 64-bit is unable to load the driver.
    Any idea how to fix this besides a "nuke it from orbit" and format/reinstall Windows?
    Thanks.

    I'm very excited to finally have a solution for this problem. Thank You Balaji for figuring this out. I've been struggling with this for a number of years, and had only one USB Hard Drive that worked. I too have VMware workstation, and had the missing files
    in "c:\windows\inf." I can say with certainty that I did not delete the files from that folder, but something is common in both of our situations. Maybe it has to do with VMware, and some of it's updates over the years. I'm also using nCompute to share out
    a networked desktop via the wire. 
    One more thing worthy of mention is this machine was an update from Windows Vista, and the USB hard drive that worked was configured back than. So although I could never add another HD, at least I had the one.
    Now with having copied over the files, I can plugin other USB enclosures with different drives and they too are working.
    Like you mentioned, it was always possible to use USB devices within my Virtual Machines, so it was clear that the USB ports were functional. I actually got the files from a clean Windows 7 VM, copying out the \windows\inf folder and doing a compare between
    the the real one and the virtual one. I found the two missing files you mentioned, along with 8 others. I went ahead and included them all in your fix.
    It worked, Amazing. Thanks again. :O)

  • Usb masse storage  in solaris 10 problem !!

    Hi all
    i have srss 3.0 with solaris10-GA, all work well but the usb masse storage
    does' nt recognize by srss3.0 are there solution for that problem.
    or patch for srss 3.0.
    thanks team

    Congratulations on your choice of Os ;-)
    To solve this problem you can try and create a directory called /rmdisk , then start vold running:
    /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
    /etc/init.d/volmgt start
    if you are lucky your USB flash will show up under /rmdisk/<name> after a few seconds.
    If not you should be able to see the flash with cfgadm, which list the status of USB ports (among other things).
    Solaris should automatically create a /dev/dsk/ and /dev/rdsk/ entries for your flash memory, if its not automatically mounted by vold, try and stop vold using
    /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
    Then do a cd /dev/dsk and run an ls -lart, the USB devices should be among the last devices in that list, then mount it using:
    mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/<device> /some/directory
    the device should end with s2 or p2, some flash devices might also need :c, aka /dev/dsk/<device>:c, it depends how its configured.
    See man mount_pcfs for more information...
    Hope this helps a bit (:

  • Can't enable USB Mass Storage

    I am trying to use recovery software (Recuva) to replace deleted photos. When connecting to my laptop, I can only choose Media Device (MTP) or Camera (PTP). Recuva cannot find my phone without USB Mass Storage enabled but that option seems to no longer exist? What can I do to enable this?

    You need to enable USB debugging on phone, so the computer can see it as a storage device.
    Go into Settings, then scroll down to the bottom and click on About Phone.
    Scroll down to the bottom to where it says “Build Number”.
    Tap on “Build number” 7 times. After the third tap, Android will start counting down on how many taps are left before you can access the developer options, with a playful “You are now [insert number of remaining taps] steps away from being a developer”.
    After the 7th tap, you’ll get a “You are now a developer!” message.
    Now, go back to the main settings screen, and voila, the “Developer options” menu will be visible at the bottom, just above “About phone”!
    Developer options->enable USB debugging

  • IPOD seen as two drives(USB Mass Storage & and Dell USB )

    My IPOD classic has not worked properly since I updated my OS to Windows XP. At first the IPOD was seen as two different USB controllers (Apple USB Driver, and a USB Mass Storage Device) I've gone through every troubleshooting article on the apple website. After downloading a hotfix, my computer recognizes the IPOD as an IPOD but it doesn't connect to itunes long enough for me to restore it. It automatically disconnects after being plugged into the computer. If anybody can help, please, please please let me know.
    Thanks.

    I just purchased an ipod classic 120GB and after downloading itunes to the computer I can no longer use my DVD/CD drive as the ipod is using that drive now, which is the E drive on my computer. I noticed that if I uninstall itunes I get to use my DVD/CD drive again. I do not know what next to try either. So my ipod is seen as a mass storage device, I need help too, can anyone help?
