Mass storage controller problem device

Laptop dv8305ca
OS: XP SP3
My system has slowed down to a crawl, sound is distorted and the screen flickers. System Info says Mass Storage Controller is a probelm device. The PNP Device ID is PCI\VEN_104&CDEV_8033&SUBSYS_309B103C&REV_00\4&13826118&0&23A4
I tried to fix it through Device Manager. Device location is PCI Slot 3 (PCI bus 6 device 4 function 3) Status is Code 28 - no drivers installed. I tried to reinstall driver but don't have an installation disc and don'tknow where else to find it.
Can I download the drivers from HP support onto a USB device on another computer and reinstall from the USB device into this computer and which specific driver do I need to install? Help much appreciated. Thanks

That's the TI media card reader, driver for XP is here: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp33001-33500/sp33439.exe
Though, if it was working before and now reporting problems in control panel, the reader might be having hardware problems.

Satellite A200-1CR - Driver for Mass Storage Controller

On my Satellite A200-1CR / Windows 7 Pro I see yellow "Mass storage controller" in device list. What driver I should install?
Also my cardreader is not work now.

Hi mate
In your case I recommend checking the Device ID and Vendor ID which helps you to get more details about the device and needed driver.
Here you can find a nice HowTo:
[How to identify an unknown device?|http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78]
If the Mass Storage Controller is the Card Reader device, then you would need the Flash Media Driver but I found only the driver for Vista, however, I recommend checking this driver even if its has been released for Vista and not for Win 7

Device Manager displayed " Mass Storage Controller (Code 28)"

Greetings to all Members
I am using AMD 64 x2 3800+ processor. MSI mortherboard K8N Diamond. Graphic cards, two units, Geforce GTX6600GT. I am running on Window XP SP2. I have also updated the AMD latest drivers.
I noticed each time I log on the computer, the computer would prompt "New Mass Storage Hardware Found" and prompt the wizard to install new found hardware.
I went to device manager and noticed the device status display "This drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28). I have also carry out all the steps as suggested from the device manager menu. Mass Storage Controller location is: PCI Slot 9 (PCI 3, device 0, function 0 is displayed at the Mass Storage Controller Display. The device Instance ID display "PCI\VEN_1095&DEV_3132&SUBSYS_710A1462&REV_01\4&14AECDBO&0&0060.
Try update driver option but to no success. Have all the driver systems (in the CD) that came together with the system installed as well. Again to no success in resoluting the problem.
To my horror after installing the drivers that I have downloaded from MSI website for the said board.
I notice the Virtual drive program failed to initialize.and the following messages were displayed during the installation of the website drivers for the said mortherboard:
There was a problem installing this hardware
Mass Storage Controller
An error occured during the installation of the device. The name is already in use as either a service or a service display name.
Can someone please help me to resolve this problem? Any suggestion or advise would be sincerelt appreciated.
Best Regards
Harry
Can someone please assist and provide me with some guidelines to resolve this problem.

Hi Bas
I manage to remove the yellow exclamation mark from the hardware, device manager by setting the Integrated Peripherals on Board Sil3132 mode from Sata to Raid.
The Sata and Raid controllers is displayed and upon opening it up further, I noticed the following controllers are displayed:
1 ) FarStone CDAWDM2001 SCSI Host Adapter.
2) Silicon Image SIL3132 SataRaid Controller.
Do you think I have set the right thing? Your kind opinion on this. I am using BIOS version used is 1.A
Thanks
Best Regards

Unrecognised Mass Storage Controller on Satellite A100-680

Hello,
I have a Satellite A100-680 (PSAA9E) that has been running XP Home for about two years. Very satisfied!
I decided to upgrade to Vista Business, which worked very well (actually impressed by easyness of install).
The machine works perfectly , there is only one irritating factor - under Device Manager - Other devices I have some thing called Mass Storage Controller and it does not have a driver loaded. I have been trying to locate one, but I have no idea what to look for.
Vista at some point suggested some Texas Instrument PCI device, but..... let me put it this way..... luckily I did not have to reinstall since I had made an image backup of the disks.
Can anyone give me a hint what I should look for.
Thanks in advance
Hans
Edited by: Admin

Really nice, that your Win Vista installation worked so good.
For this unrecognised device, I too think that it is the Texas Instrument card reader.
Go there: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
And download the Flash Media Driver and maybe SD Memory Format. Install them, reboot and device should be installed without any problems.

Mass Storage Controller Error

Hi all
I get a "Mass Storage Controller" error in device manager after a new install. I have nothing unusual in my opinion, my config is listed below. FYI - I havnt yet installed the drivers for "nVidia Firewall" and "Forceware Network Access Manager" - not sure if this could be related.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
(some of you may recognise my request from a previous thread, which started to get off-topic so I started this new one)
My config is:
Windows XP Pro (standard install without RAID drives for nVidia or SiS)
MSI K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum
OCZ 520W Modstream in Thermaltake Tsunami Case
Athlon 64 3000+
Zalman 7000B Alcu cooler
1 GB Crucial Ballistix PC3200
Gigabyte 6600GT
WD Caviar SE 80GB SATA
Generic DVD-ROM
Onboard audio
USB Mouse
USB Keyboard with Fingerprint Reader
USB Gaming Device ("The Claw")

Problem solved - I disabled the SiS RAID controller
Interesting that it was giving a device error while set to Enabled/SATA

DV8225nr Mass Storage Controller driver, left mouse not working, and standby blinking light?

Hello!
1. Getting a yellow arrow in Device Manager for Other Devices>Mass Storage Controller. Online HP site scan can't find my computer. When I type model as DV8225nr, it's can't find that either. I need a driver so I can clear this question mark. Properties>Details> Device Instance ID is PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_8033&SUBSYS_309B103C&REV_00/4&13826118&23A4
2. My daughter uses this computer so maybe through some key combination or switch or something (unless it just failed), the left mouse button doesn't work. I have to use a USB optical mouse. Any idea what I can look at to restore full functionality to the mouse/touchpad?
3. At night, I notice that there is a flashing blue light comping from this computer. I think it's when it goes into standby. Any way to stop that flashing?
I appreciate everyone's help!
Regards,
Leaning

Hi:
You need this driver for that device.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-43235-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Did you install the touchpad driver?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-48345-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
If that doesn't work, I don't have any other suggestions for you and I concur with your assumption that it is a hardware problem.
Blinking light? Shut the PC down instead of letting it go into sleep mode.
There are no settings to not have that happen.

Need mass storage controller for Equium A110-147

Hello. I have an Equium A110-147 running windows7 ultimate with 2g of ram and a 500 g hard drive.
In other devices in device manager I am informed that my mass storage controller drivers are not installed. When I try to update the drivers I am told the drivers cannot be found on my computer or on the web.
I would apreciate some help on this if possible please.

Hey,
If you dont post the vendor and device ID its hard to say what driver you need
Theoretically Mass Storage Controller could be related to internal card reader module. You can download it on official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
But I think you must search for Vista drivers because Equium A110 doesnt support Windows 7, only Vista.
And you must search in *Archive* on driver download page because its an older model. ;)

Equium A100-027 - Missing driver for mass storage controller

Hello,
after installing Windows 7 32bit, Multimedia Card Reader not working. All updates and drivers are installed, except mass storage controller driver, I can't find this driver anywhere.
Please help
Thanks

Try to install driver designed for A200 or A210. Maybe this will help. If not, who cares about card reader. Point is you can use Win7 and everything else works perfectly.
Disable this device in device manager and be happy.

Satellite A100 - need driver for Mass Storage Controller

Needed to use the recovery disc and now can not find driver for "Mass Storage Controller".
according to device manager :
Device Type : Other devices
Manufacturer : Unknown
Location : PCI bus 7, device 6, function 2
suggestions, advise requested

Your description is incomplete.
What OS did you install?
What notebook model A100-xxx do you have exactly
You said you used Recovery disk is it right???
I wonder why the unknown device appears in device manager if the recovery disk has been used. ?:|
Recovery disk installs all drivers and usually no unknown devices should be visible in device manager

Satellite M100 - Driver for Mass Storage Controller

Please help. I keep getting the message hat I have no driver for my Mass storage controller. I have downloaded and re-downloaded the Toshiba drivers. Microsoft cant find anything.
It seems to be PCI bus 5, device 6, function 2.
Can anyone help (in laymans terms please). This is driving me crazy.
Thanks

Hi Tellgio,
Which Toshiba drivers you have reinstalled exactly? Im pretty sure that you dont have installed all drivers because you still have a yellow exclamation mark in device manager
Furthermore it would be interesting to know which OS is installed
I had also a yellow exclamation mark on Mass Storage Controller and in my case it was a missing Card Reader driver. So you should install this driver from official Toshiba website:

Satellite A200 - Driver for mass storage controller

Just installed Windows 7 and it's missing 1 driver, a mass storage controller, laptop is a Satellie A200 PSAE0E and driver location is pci bus 6, device 4, function 2.
Tried to update to internet but doesn't find it. Thanks in advance

Hello
Some more details would be interesting What drivers have you installed as yet?
Make sure that the chipset driver is installed and have you installed Windows 7 in AHCI or Compatibility mode?
The drivers you have to download on external websites. For this model are no Windows 7 drivers on the Toshiba page. :(

Satellite Pro P300: Need Vista 64bit 'Mass storage controller' driver

Hi, please help.
I've just upgraded my laptop from Windows Vista 32bit to Vista 64bit.
I've managed to find all the drivers apart one: The 'Mass storage controller' driver (yellow exclamation mark in Device Manager).
I don't know where to look for this driver.
Any help would be appreciated. Al

Hi
I assume you didnt search in forum for similar questions? Is it right?
I think Im right because I searched in the forum and found this Toshiba FAQ doc.
+No Windows XP driver for PCI Memory Controller+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB83023N0000R01.htm
Here you can find this text passage:
After installing Windows XP there could be a yellow exclamation mark by a "PCI Memory Controller" or *"Mass Storage Controller"* in the device manager.
_Solution:_
This device is likely the Turbo Memory former Robson module.
This hardware will only supported by Windows Vista.
Therefore there is no Windows XP driver.
Now everything should be clear ;)
