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

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.

  • 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 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

  • Satellite A210-16G Mass Storage Controller driver for Windows Vista 32-bit

    Hello, I need Toshiba Satellite A210-16G Mass Storage Controller driver for Windows Vista 32-bit. If you have setup file, please redirect me, if you have any other file, please explain me where to install it.

    If I were you I would take look to the Drivers Download site of the Toshiba mainpage, because there you can find everything you need.
    The mass storage controller can either be the HDD controller or the SD-card controller. I would download both of them.
    Heres a direct link to the Drivers page: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  • Satellite M70: Need mass storage controller & card reader driver

    First issue: I want the driver of (mass storage controller).
    Second issue: I have card reader but it doesn't work.

    First issue: all you need you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    Second issue: I presume the hardware is not installed properly. For that you need to install TI 5 in 1 Card Reader driver.
    If you can not configure all this please use delivered recovery DVD and install OS. After doing this everything will work again.

  • 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 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. :(

    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 ;)

  • Mass Storage Controller driver under Vista Ultimate on Satellite A200

    Hi I installed Vista Ultimate and the driver for Mass Storage Controller was not found. I tried to solve the problem as discribed here: Link: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB57014E000QR01.htm] But I could not find the driver on the Recovery DVD (Vista Home Premium).

    Hi
    You will be not able to find this driver on the Toshiba recovery CD because the recovery CD contains only the Image files.
    The whole Windows OS, Toshiba drivers and utilities are packed in this image file but this file cannot be unzipped!
    So if you need the driver please visit the Toshiba European driver page, choose your notebook series from the download form and download the right driver!
    Best regards

  • 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
