Missing Mass Storage controler

Hello, I was just doing some cleanup for my laptop and I mustve accidently deleted a couple of thing that i might have needed. When I go to the device manager it shows the yellow questionmark next to the mass storage controller and the multimedia controller. Whenever my computer restarts it prompts me to install these programs however i do not have the cd that contains those drivers. I looked everywhere on the net for these drivers and found nothing. If anybody might now where these drivers are located it would be of great help. Thanks
Oh and my laptop is a sattelite M55 S3512

N96 - Missing Mass Storage Volume?!

Hi.
Im trying to upload music to the music folder in the mass storage volume on my N96, but have got to a limit of about 1.1Gb added and Nokia Music Manager is telling me I've run out of space (and to delete some music so I can upload more).
This patently isnt the case - I can check the properties of the volume in My Computer and I vet a nice pie-chart to tell me I have the majority free. But if I use a utlility called Folder Size which can give the size of folders up and down a directory tree, it implies that I have very little space left in a volume limited to about 1.2 Gb!
Whats going on...?
Im trying copying music manually by dragging and dropping with the device in mass media modeat present, but its hardly 'synchronous' music transfer and backup!
Thanks,
Damian

I don't know what's going on but Nokia Music Manager seems to have a lot of problems.,
I recommend you use Mass Storage and save the music directly into the SOUNDS, MUSIC or MY MUSIC folders in the phone.
640K Should be enough for everybody

Missing definitions for block storage control

Hey guys,
I am trying to transfer my material from a temporary storage bin in storage type 001 to a bin i created in storage type 004. When I go into transaction lt04 and try to do the transfer i get the following message.
<i>Missing definitions for block storage control (B1 001 1)
Message no. L3082
Diagnosis
Certain information on block storage control is missing in your system definition.
There is no definition for the sectioning of the storage bins in block storage according to storage bin type, storage unit type and block code.
Procedure
Contact your system administrator about this error. Note down the parameters in the error message and the situation that caused the error.</i>
I have setup the storage bin types and storage unit types. I do not know what the block code is however and I do not really understand what is being asked of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi Fernando,
I had the same problem, everything was correct but the system showed the same error. I changed the material data in transaction MM03, View warehouse Management 1, i inserted values the field "Bulk storage indicator" and the field "Allow addition to existing stock". Other change was in the Storage Bin in transaction LS02N, the storage Bin type should be the same as Storage Unit Type defined in SPRO (Define Strategy for Bulk Storage)
Best regards,
Alejandro

PCI Communication Controller and USB Mass Storage Device driver was missing

Hi,
Recently i formated HP Pavilion Slimline 400 PC series and reinstalled with windows 7 32 bit.\
initially i found a lot of driver was missing. i have gone through hp support forums and almost all drivers are running on 64 bit with minimum requirement OS windows 8.1.
i couldn't find it anywhere. under device manager, these two devices are being shown with yellow exclamation

Please kindly provide the link for the drivers, so i can use my PC.
thanks in advance

Hi:
Did you install the USB3 controller driver so the device you installed could work?
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=21129&lang=eng&ProdId=3467
The USB Mass Storage Device is something you have connected to the PC.
Specifically a Sony® MicroVault USB Flash Drive.
If my suggestion to let windows update find the Intel Management Engine driver, didn't work, see if this driver from Intel works. It also has the hardware ID for that device in the setup information file.

USB Mass Storage Mode Missing :-(

I just upgraded? to the Samsung Galaxy S III today and have been very happy for the most part. However...
I am EXTREMELY disappointed that the only options to transfer files to the phone/SD Card are to use the MTP and Photo protocols. I always loved my Android phone...built off of open source software...and using open standards (things like USB Mass Storage). It is incredibly useful to be able to plug my phone into almost any PC, running any OS, and be able to transfer files to and fro.
Where is the rest of the uproar? When are we going to demand that one of the most useful features on our phone be put back. It was already there...it was already working...and has been dropped for lame, limited use protocols... Why? Who is getting paid off? Why?
Bring back USB Mass Storage Mode!!!!

It is always a good idea to do some research... I have followed your suggestion and found that Google has two reasons for using MTP instead of USB Mass Storage. They are:
1) “A main reason for using MTP rather than for example the USB mass-storage device class (MSC) is that the latter operates at the granularity of a mass storage device block (usually in practice, a FAT block), rather than at the logical file level. In other words, the USB mass storage class is designed to give a host computer undifferentiated access to bulk mass storage, such as compact flash, rather than to a file system, which might be safely shared with the target device (except for specific files which the host might be modifying/accessing). In practice, therefore, when a USB host computer has mounted an MSC partition, it assumes absolute control of the storage, which then may not be safely modified by the device without risk of data corruption until the host computer has severed the connection.“ -sombody from Google
--My Response - "I am totally OK with the SD card not being safe to be mounted. During the time I choose to be connected (only when transferring files)...I DO want the PC and not the phone to be in complete control of the SD card."
2) “MTP is a big improvement over USB mass storage — for devices with lots of internal memory, a manufacturer no longer needs to come up with some hard partition between the USB mass storage and internal storage. Instead, they are all in one partition, with MTP providing access to the directory of media files that would normally be available through USB mass storage. This means there is no longer a need for apps on SD card for such devices, because what used to be the ‘internal SD card’ is in the same partition as where applications are stored. The storage on your device can be used for either applications or media, depending on what you want to put on it. You aren’t stuck with how much space the manufacturer decided to leave for the two areas." -somebody else from Google
--My Response - "I am completely OK with the removable SD card being treated separately. That is EXACTLY what I want. I want to keep MY DATA separate and only on the removable SD card. And all of the stuff that I don't care about...that can be easily reinstalled (apps and such) on the internal memory. It is a good design. The phone has enough internal memory that I don't have any trouble with space for Apps (so not a conern at all)."
--My Overall Response - "The loss of flexibility, portability, and usefullness does NOT come close to justifying removal of the USB Mass Storage protocol. I am still VERY disappointed."
Where is the THUMBS DOWN... and INCORRECT ANSWER?

[ms-1719/gx700] - windows 7 64bit - mass storage controller driver missing

Hi,
I have a question about finding/installing the mass storage controller driver, after a clean install of win7 sp1 64bit (home edition).
I bought a new drive (Seagate ST9500420AS), onto which I installed the OS.
I thought the OS itself was supposed to install this driver?.....I looked at Seagate's site and they say the same thing. For good measure I used the "live update 5" MSI utility to see if they could provide it for my mobo....nothing useful came up there, and also looked at their page for my laptop model (GX700) no such drivers available either....neither for XP/Vista, let alone win7 64bit.
After installing the OS I also went out to Intel's site and downloaded/installed the latest chipset drivers for my mobo/chipset as well.....that didnt fix it.
so question is, where can I find this if none of the above worked??.
here's my detailed specs page:
http://speccy.piriform.com/results/wrsR2VbtVA042hKxLkCy1sR
thanks,
paul

guys,
thanks a lot for the quick replies.
@Stu:
I was actually wondering about those...if those micro reader drivers were what I needed...thanks for confirming and point at the x64 version. I'll put them on pretty soon, see what happens.
@Henry,
no, I wasnt aware about that at all.....but now that you mentioned it, it makes sense, the difference between my old sata1 and the new sata2. I am pretty inexperienced when it comes to messing w/ hardware, so the question is where would I get a jumper block like that?
also if I leave it as I have for the last 2 months since I had the new HD, what could happen w/out our the jumper block?....data loss/corruption, anything like that or worse??.....just wondering if it'd be ok for me to leave it as is, or if there are any issues that can come up, for which it'd be worth for me to get the jumper and install it as you mention.
also if not having this jumper does cause any issues, I was wonder if it could cause certain blank-out crashes that I've been having, which seemed so far to be related to vidcard.....but not sure if this difference between sata1 and sata2 could actually be causing these....here is the thread for that if you have any thoughts...

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.

Time Capsule vs. Other Mass Storage Device

I am a Mac newby seeking advice. I recently purchased the MBA below to replace my personal PC. My previous setup was a desktop with plenty of storage to handle my needs (including iTunes) and I backed up data directly to an external hard drive (I know pretty basic).
After purchasing the MBA, I realized I do not have enough internal hard drive space to store all of my music and my current external drive is too small for all the media and backup of the MBA. Also, the point of the MBA is to be mobile. Also, I would like my Sonos music system (with an application similar to iTunes) to be able to access the music library. Lastly, I have far to many songs purchase outside of iTunes to use iTunes Match. Therefore, I started seeking wireless alternatives to store my music and backup my MBA. Although an NAS would probably be ideal, I have found out through trial and error that the basic systems do not work with a MAC and the only ones with a prayer are the more expensive ones (i.e. Synology and QNAPS). Therefore, I have decided to pursue a more simplified approach.
My Internet and TV provider is CenturyLink. Their router is very basic with only 802.11g speed and without any USB ports. The following configuration has been suggested to my by some more experienced Apple users to provide wireless data access and backup.
Requesting CenturyLink provide me with a basic modem.
Purchasing an Airport Extreme (or similar wireless n router with a USB port).
Connecting the Airport Extreme (or other wireless router) to the basic modem.
Purchasing a Time Capsule (or other mass storage device).
Partitioning it using either the specific one for the Time Capsule (or Disk Utility for other mass storage devices) to provide one volume for my media and one for backup using Time Machine.
Moving the media from my old external drive (which is catalogued with folders for each artist, subfolders for each album and the songs in the subfolders) by connecting the old mass storage device and Time Machine to my MBA and using Finder to do this (see the questions below regarding this).
Moving/cataloging the media from the Time Capsule (or other mass storage device) by dragging it into the iTunes window.
Connecting the Time Capsule (or other mass storage device) to the USB port of the Airport Extreme (or other wireless router).
Setting up Time Machine to use the volume partitioned for backups.
Possibly having to move cataloging files from my iTunes, Music folder to the external drive and pointing iTunes to the Time Capsule (or other mass storage device) through Preferences, Advanced to access the music.
Overall, I am concerned with the total cost. I just spent a lot of money, not only purchasing the MBA, but also the iPad 3 and upgrading my cell phone to the iPhone 5 (I skipped the 4). It seems that by the time I purchase an Airport Extreme and a Time Capsule, I could also have just bought a NAS like the Synology 213 with 2 X 1TB drives, connect it to the existing wireless router via ethernet connections and have a more comprehensive solution. Based upon these instructions and cost concerns (and bad experience), I have several questions related to this.
Does this configuration and these instructions make sense, including those for moving and accessing my music files through iTunes (i.e. will it work)?
Are both the Airport Extreme and Time Capsule necessary to make this work easily or can I purchase alternatives to either or each and if so, what is recommended? If they are necessary, would you recommend doing this or buying one of the aforementioned NAS's to a Mac newby?
Given the file structure for my music on the old external mass storage drive, can I simply move the folders over with the subfolders containing the musice files in them or do I have to literally enter into each subfolder, select all and move them subfolder by subfolder (i.e. album by album)?
Am I missing something totally better and easier solution?
I would be massively grateful to anyone who can provide some good answers, advice and guidance. I am about to pull my hair out!!!!
Thanks,
WinoSkiBoy

They both said about the same thing except the Apple Store business tech said to buy an Airport Extreme and just attach a partitioned external third party HDD to it.
Except that is flakey for TM backup..
http://pondini.org/TM/Airport.html
And slow as the proverbial dog.. although I guess the dog is old.
And totally inadequate as a media store or server.
Apple's pricing is pretty cunning.. I really doubt you are going to find a cheaper unit to do both wireless and TM backups than the TC. And it is a perfectly good device to do that. It is good to have in the network. And Apple sure make their products work with other apple products.. so it does work better than other similar cost products.. although you miss a lot of features that Apple predecided for you.
But I don't think anyone has the ideal solution to your problem. Apple believe in cloud. And if you have fibre internet that will work really well.. forks out your money and apple will store your stuff. But for the real world most of us do not have internet connection even a fraction of speed required. And it can be another decade before we will. We need a box that is half way between a TC and media PC, a file store and a NAS. Will Apple make one.. ?? I don't think so.. They believe in cloud..
You can make the missing link one yourself. If you are so inclined.. A HP microserver running freeNAS can do TM backups and makes an excellent media store because it can do AFP. You can put a graphics card in it and plug it into your TV. You can use it with a airport extreme. But you will need a degree in Geek.. !! The synology is a preconfigured form of that.. No Geekdom required. Synology seems to have the upper hand.. this week.
Let me make a suggestion.. Figure out if you are going to jump into the Apple way of doing stuff.. which is basically itunes on computer as a server.. and the whole network.. working as part of this.. so any media is pushed from a store in itunes.. whether local or internet.. if you want to do it that way.. getting something other than the air to run itunes is well worth it. That is what a NAS cannot do.. it cannot be a media player.
Or you do hybrid.. ie you don't use put all your media into itunes, you use a bit of this and bit of something else.. As long as that can play files.. stored on NAS or even on the TC without the itunes requirement.. It won't be as pretty. But it isn't hard to get working.. as long as you accept this isn't going to be the perfect Apple solution.

Nokia C5-03 and Mac OSX Lion - Problems copying files to phone in Mass Storage mode

Whenever I try to load more than one file from my iMac (early 2008, OSX Lion 10.7.2) to my new Nokia C5-03 in Mass Storage mode —since the files are MP3s and Multimedia Transfer doesn’t seem to work at all, I keep on getting asked which transfer mode I want to activate for several times, I always choose Mass Storage, and then the first file starts copying, but when it ends with the first one I have to wait for ±30s only to get asked the same again and again until the second file starts copying, and so on.
It’s driving me crazy, I’ve tried setting in the USB connectivity options not to ask me for the mode when I connect the phone, but it doesn’t work either. It still goes very slow and a lot of “USB Mass Storage transfer mode activated” messages appear.
I’ve tested it with a friend’s C5-03 and it’s still the same, but when connecting them to a Windows computer everything goes great and fast. Has somebody had this problem before? Is there a solution to this? I don’t know if this is the correct board to post this, sorry if it’s not.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Sorry if there are any mistakes or my English sounds weird, i’m Spanish.

Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra as Mass Storage Device?

I found an old Nomad Jukebox in my closet and seeing as its pretty obsolete im wondering if there are any firmwares that will allow this to function as a plain usb dri've instead of only being able to sync with specific software.

Probably Windows 7 more than anything else, but the main reason i would like it to behave like a mass storage device is so i can plug it into my car stereo via usb and play music from it.

Well since that is how you want to use it you could always remove the hardri've format it & use it in a portable hardri've enclosure.Your car stereo does it read an MTP device? What make & model is your car stereo? Do you have access to a XP/Service 2/WMP0 computer?

USB Ports - Mass Storage Devices - Unknown Device

Model: Satellite A135-S2276
OS: Vista
I recently tried plugging in my media card reader that I've had for several years now and has worked many dozens of times. Windows responded with an 'Unknown Device' response. I thought this was odd, so I changed and tried each USB port. To no avail the device wasn't recognized. I tried it in another computer and it worked fine.
I began to try two other mass storage devices that I know used to work, up until recently, on the laptop. Both now are 'Unknown Devices'. I now have a strong feeling that someting was wrong with windows vista. So I search around and find methods to force the driver (inf) cache to reset which should reload any corrupted drivers. Tried many methods, nothing worked, same results. I saw that Vista Service Pack 2 just came out, I installed that hoping that it would fix. Nope.
I gave up on it being a software issue after I did a fresh reinstall of the OS and with the base OS with no other software installed same results.
Is there a way to diagnose if the USB is malfunctioning from a hardware standpoint? Is it possible the USB, even thought windows recognizes it, is dead on the motherobard? If so, how do I get this fixed? Motherboard replacement?
Help!!

It sounds like it is working enough that it can recognize that soemthign is plugged into it.
You say you did a fresh install of Windows. Did you use the recovery disk or a retail Windows copy. If oyu didn't use the recovery disk then maybe you are missing a driver. Best woudl be to use the recovery disk. If a USB mouse doesn't work after that then the hardware has an issue. Assuming the BIOS is OK.

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)

LG Spectrum - Issue w/ USB Mass Storage funcionality

I just got this phone a few days ago and I am trying to play the music that I have stored on my phones memory card through my car stereo by plugging it in the USB port in my car. When I try to do this, the screen on my phone just flashes back and forth from the charging home screen to the regular home screen and it (my car stereo) says reading error. Prior to getting the LG SPectrum I had an HTC Evo on Sprint and it used to work whenever I plugged my phone into my cars USB port. Is there a setting I need to change in my phone or is this phone just not compatible w/ car stereos? This may be a question that I need to ask my car manufacturer but I figured I would start here for some advice.
On another note, I am also wondering if this phone has an indicator light. I have been looking ever since I got this phone but can't seem to find it anywhere. All I see on it is the front camera and a motion sensor. Am I missing something?

Yes I have tried that but it still gives me the same result. Itis a little disappointing that I can't get it to work like my Evo did. I never had the need for an iPod b/c my phone always did what I needed as far as music goes. So is am is it safe to assume that it won't be possible to play my music on my phone through my car stereo? Any way it could work through bluetooth? I am somewhat disappointed w/ some of the other features of this phone (especially not having a notification light) but I could get past that but not having the ability to have the USB mass storage capability is a huge let down.

Without providing access of mass storage,allow access of data card or local printer ,

Hello,
Pls assist in exploring the possibility to allow access of data card or local printer without providing access of mass storage.
Balwan Singh

Hello Balwan Singh,
You can use two methods on is using Administrative Template and the other is using Preferences, both are available within the GPO in Domain Controllers with 2008 and later.
Option 1: Administrative Template.
This setting can be configured either at Computer or User level.
You need to go to:
Computer or User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Removable Storage Access
In here you can Enable the setting "Removable Disks: Deny read access" or "Removable Disks: Deny write access"
Just be aware that this settings does not apply to a servers at a "User Configuration" level.
Option 2: Preferences.
This setting can be configured either at Computer or User level.
You need to go to:
Computer or User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel\Devices
In here you need to create a new item as follows:
- Right click and select new --> Device
- On General Tab you can select two "Action" options "Use this device (enable)" or "Do not use this device (disable)" in this case you should use the second option "Do
not use this device (disable)"
- On "Device class:" you can browse the devices attached to the computer from where you are configuring this GPO.
In this list yo need to choose the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" node and among the options listed in here you should choose the "USB Mass Storage Device" which is the class used for USB drives.
Remember that if you are configuring the GPO from a domain controller probably you do not see the "USB Mass Storage Device" in the "Universal
Serial Bus controllers" node since there does not exists a USB drive directly attached to your domain controller.
You can workaround this by either connect a USB drive to your Domain Controller or connect with the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC.msc) from a workstation on which you can safely plug a USB drive just to be able to visualize it and configure your GPO.

Iphone 4 mass storage

i have recently noticed I am unable to use my iphone 4 as a mass storage device, unlike the ipod and ipod touch the iphone 4 some how does not have this option.
i have researched on your site and you have nothing on this subject, I have also searched on other sites but they are all useless. one site did give me an option to use a program called phone disk which would allow me to use my phone as a mass storage device but the program did not work.
if there is something major and obvious that i am missing please do tell, other wise i would like to know if there is a reason that this is not possible.
so in summary my question is: how do i turn my iphone 4 into a mass storage device and if not possible why?
joel taylor

how do i turn my iphone 4 into a mass storage device
You can't, the iPhone does not support disk mode.
if not possible why?
Because that's the way Apple designed things.
