[t431s] Code 28 in Device Manager for all external storage.

I'm using Windows 8.1 on a t431s. I'm having this problem where none of my external storage is being recognized. Under "Device Manager" any sort of external storage I plug in ends up under "Other devices". When I click on the device, I get Code 28 "The drivers for this device are not installed." Trying to update the driver brings me nowhere. The devices don't appear under disk management.
What's weird is that other USB peripherals such as mice and USB headphones don't have any problem.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Updated the BIOS.
Used Lenovo's SCCM package for Windows 8.1
Tried installing the individual drivers for each hard drive.
Nothing works! What's going on here?
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Solved!

Hi, Buggy
After doing a bit of research. It seems your not the only one with this issue. WD has had this issue with even Windows 7 since 2012 with other Passport models.
I honestly recommend seeking support with WD about this issue if you have not done so already as the ones who where able to fix this issue did so with updated drivers from WD.

Device not ejected properly error message on all external storage devices: SD, Ext HD, iPod, IPhone, etc.

All external storage devices (USB HD, iPod, iPhone, SD card reader, etc) are not staying connected. Connection runs for 10-15 sec and the error message "card not ejected properly" appears. Have reformatted cards, performed a OSx install disk permissions and disk repair, re-installed and updated OSx, and PRAM reset. After the OSx reinstall I had no problems for about 2 days then my iPod shuffle sync triggered the error message. I follow good practice in ejecting disks from the Finder window or iTunes.

thought i had it licked after taking to the local service center. they checked out the hardware and felt there was no problem getting power to the USB and SD ports, eg the suspected cause of the eject. they thought it might be a buried permissions problem in some dl'ed software that the repair utility would not find/fix. sooo...i wiped the disk and reinstalled everything from scratch. worked for about a month and now its showing up again. just kicked off my shuffle. the sd reader self ejects after about 10 seconds. dunno where to go from here.

Unknown Device in Device Manager for Lenovo G780 laptop, Windows 7

Hails all. I am trying to figure out what the Unknown Device is under Other Devices in my Device Manager. I recently got rid of Windows 8 and put Windows 7 64-bit on my Lenovo G780 laptop. I installed almost everything from the Lenovo site --- all of the drivers and such, software, etc. I cannot figure out what this device may be. The only external device connected to the laptop is a Kensington usb mouse. Any ideas?
I did run the PCI test program and the Motherboard test program that Lenovo provides and it didn't find any errors. Windows Update hasn't found update/driver/software for the Unknown Device. The Lenovo Solutions software only tells me to open Device Manager.

Welcome to the forum!
Since Windows Update didn't pick up any missing drivers, I'm guessing you are missing a driver for a device that would be propriatary to Lenovo. During the installation of Windows 7, did you install the One Key Recovery software ? If not, the One Key Recovery button maybe triggering that exclamation mark in Device Manager since there is no driver to tell Windows what to do with that button.
If that wasn't the problem you can try running Unknown Device Indentifier to see if that utility can indentify the unknown device. The free program can be found at the link below........

URGENT Lenovo g550 webcam does not show up in Device Manager and all drivers cannot be installed

Hello everyone. So my lenovo g550 webcam stopped working after I did a clean install of windows 7 home. When I go under device manager I do not see any unknow devices. When I also go to show hidden devices it is not there. Could anyone give me information about how to fix this and if the cable to the webcam might be broken. If so, is there a way I could convert the webcam's pin outs to usb to test it. I have split an old usb cable into four colored spots. Not sure if i want to test it though. That would be my last resort. If needbe, can you tell me the pin outs for the webcam. It has five connectors. The reason I know this is usb is because my older installation on windows 7 detected it and said that the usb could be faster. Thanks.

Sorry about that. I've only been a member for a few days. I will remove the post with all Capps. Have a nice day!

HP Device manager for C6100 series on macbook freezes after 1.1.1 update

Okay, I had this same issue on my Powerbook after the hp 1.1.1 update for my C6100 Photosmart printer/scanner and I Googled the answer but didn't save it - I now have the same issue on my MacBook Pro. When I try to scan via the HP Device Manager I get an error "the program may be unstable, it is recommended that the program be closed and restarted"
I know the resolution is to remove the 1.1.1 update but I can't remember how the heck to do this... anyone? Help! I know it's super easy and I'm stuck.
Thanks all!

That doesn't work. I ended up just using the uninstaller and removing the entire thing and then by the CD I reinstalled it again so it doesn't have the update 1.1.1. Of course it asks if I want to update when the updater runs I deselect it. Now I remember there is a simple way to make it skip this update every time too so I don't inadvertently install it again but I don't remember that simple task either.

Error Code 10 (Device manager) NI-CAN driver 2.5.2

Hi,
I am using the PCMCIA-CAN/2 series 2 card to communicate with an Aerovironment ABC150 charger and get the Error Code 10 in the device manager when I tried to install the driver.
Windows XP
Dell Latitude D520
Driver version 2.5.2
Previously the system had worked fine until we installed a USB 3G GSM modem. The Max software no longer recognised the CAN card. Since, I have installed the 2.5.2 version of the software and reinstalled XP on the machine. I have checked for IRQ conflicts and eventually removed the USB GSM software and hardware. After reinstalling XP, I tried to install the driver without installing the USB modem. I have downloaded the patch as for 2.3 versions and before.
When installing the driver from the 'Found new hardware wizard' I was not able to point at the system32/drivers location for the nicanpkw.sys file as it reported that there was no compatible software, nor by looking at any of the other locations. Instead I had to manually select it form the list of available drivers.
It is possible the Dell has been damaged as the original PCMCIA GSM card stopped working after the machine was knocked. I have tried other PCMCIA GSM cards and they work fine. I have also tried to use the PCMCIA-CAN2 (s2) card in another machine and that works also.
Thanks in advance,
Cam

Hi,
I have seen such wiered things when i had the legacy USB support enabled on a DELL notebook. Try to find this property in your BIOS and disable it and besides check wether or not your BIOS has a configuration property for PCMCIA/cardbus and try to enable pcmcia support (16 bit). Thats because the CAN board needs his own IRQ and cannot share interrupts like other cardbus compatible devices can.
Let us know if that helps.

[GE70 PC2 APACHE] - 2 Devices left in Device manager but all drivers installed

After I installed all the drivers that I found for this Model (GE70 2PC APACHE) I still have 2 things left in my Device manager. But I have no idea whats missing. And Windows cant find any fitting driver. Anyone know maybe what it could be ?
Installed Drivers for Soundcard, Nvidia, Intel Display Driver, Touchpad, Card Reader, Bluetooth, Wifi, LAN. Whats left that could be those 2 devices in Device Manager ?
Cheers
Wolfseye

Hi,
I i don't know what drivers are missing if you have installed all drivers.
What you can do is, install this software " Driver Booster ". This software can detect the missing drivers and install them.
Cheers

Funds Management for all transaction

Hi
I have activated funds management. I want this only for checking budget for non-assigned PO.
But it will ask comittment items for all business transactions like FI / MM / SD,etc
What settings needs to be done for the same so that other transactions are affected. Please help

Hi,
Bear in mind that the minimum account assignment that must be provided in case of FM, is funds center and commitment item, this is required for postings, budget, avc and so on.
Funds center can be a combination of cost centers that you should have filled in your PO.
To be able to derive automatically funds center from the cost center, use FMDERIVE transaction creating a derivation rule that connects cost centers to the funds centers.
The FM derivation tool can only be used for deriving Funds Management account assignments. Additional information is
available in note 881202.
I suggest you to read also the documentation available in the following menu:
SPRO -> Public Sector Management -> Funds Management Government -> Prepare Funds Management Installation
It is only a text document but with links and with all the necessary instructions to start FM in your company.
I hope that this helps you.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

Search in device manager for driver updated on a certain date.

How do I search for a driver I updated on 06/13/2014 so I can roll it back ? I can't remember which one it is. I was trying to download a game. The update slowed my machine way down and the print is much smaller.

Hi,
I’m sorry to tell you that you can’t find the driver in Device Manager by the way you said.
You can open Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update
and click View Update History, then find the update according to
Date Installed.
Also you can start computer and typing F8, then click
Repair Your Computer to perform System Restore to fix this issue.

Device Manager settings & Intel Rapid Storage for Crucial SSD

Hello, 1. Can anyone tell me what should the settings in device manager be for my drive?See snapshot attached and advise if it is correct. 2. Would there be any collision or problems with having the Intel Rapid Storage client installed?It was already installed in my laptop.

Default device manager settings, under policies, should be top box ticked, second box unticked. These are the correct settings.
IRST is fine as long as it's reasonably new. Like around about v11 or better. Older versions will break windows update (amongst other things) on these modern drives.

Mds95xx device manager for os 5.2.8a and above

Hi
I am looking into Cisco site for Device manager download for os 5.2.8a or above.
Someone can help me?
Many thx
Walter

Hi Walter,
There are two ways to get Device Manager.
(1)Install DCNM and DM will also be installed.
(2)Point your browser at the IP address of the switch and download it from there. Then run the "jxpiinstall.exe" file to install DM. However, to install it from here, you must have Java 1.5 and 1.6 or you will just get a "Certificate Revoked" message.
Best regards,

Device manager for 6500

I just transferred a 6500 officejet from a Mac laptop to my Windows XL pc.
I noticed that on the laptop there was a HP Device manager at the bottom of the desktop area, but there is not one on the pc, either in the system tray or HP folder.
Since the installation disc was not available, I downloaded the needed software from HP's website.
How do I get the Device manager onto my pc?
Thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
The HP Device Manager is the software for Macintosh computers only.
From the Start menu select Programs > HP > HP Officejet 6500 and open the HP Solution Center program, that is the one available on a Windows PC for your printer.
