USB HD, 10.4.7, SBBOD

My external drive is an ATA HD in a Bytecc ME-320 USB enclosure. It used to work fine on my Mini. It still works fine on my other Mac, with OS 9.
I think it was after I went to 10.4.7 that I began having trouble. Trying to mount the volumes of the external drive, open folders, eject, or shut down with the volumes mounted is very slow and, more and more, results in the Spinning Beach Ball of Death. Even my clock display stops, and nothing is recorded in the System Log.
I've read that some other users encountered the SBBOD with USB drives after going to 10.4.7.
Some resolved it by installing IOUSBFamily-228.4.0, the driver that came with 10.4.4, 10.4.5, and 10.4.6. I could do that, but first I want to be sure there won't be any conflict that leaves my mouse and keyboard inoperable.
Others resolved it by doing a deep cleaning with Tiger Cache Cleaner. The manual says not to do a deep cleaning except as a last resort. What would be the harm?

SBBoD when iPod or USB drive connected

Hi –
I've noticed a new problem with my mac recently.
When my iPod shuffle or USB flash drive is connected, the computer hangs for a few seconds. (displaying the SBBoD when the mouse is above any application)
The behaviour is similar to what occurs when the OS tries to read or write a bad file on the boot drive, but the only thing that gets written to system.log is "kernel[0]: USBF: 2156845. 75 [0x3d6d200] (Reset) USB Generic Hub @ 2 (0x4b200000)"
The only sources I can think of for the problem are the two new USB device I got around Christmas time: an iPod shuffle and a TI-84 graphing calculator. I haven't noticed the problem in other accounts on this machine, but other users don't use USB storage devices that often so I can't be sure. My external USB hard drive mounts instantly and without any problems.
Thanks.

I guess it fixed itself; I'm not having any problems any more.

SBBOD is appears every time I do anything

About a week ago, quite suddenly, the SBBOD started appearing any time I would do just about anything. It would last for about 10 seconds and then things would return to normal for a short period then it would return again. It appeared 3 time while writing the last sentence.
Problem description:
SBBOD appears every time I do anything. Very annoying!

Time Capsule + USB HD

Have had a 1TB TC for some time and never had a problem with it.
Recently tried to move a 2TB WD Green drive from my iMac, and connect it to the USB port on the TC.
When connected, the iMac and TC start to have problems.
TC is displayed under devices, and when I choose it, you can see the TC disk and the USB HD, but you cannot open them beyond that level. If you do, you get a SBBOD and Finder locks up. It will not restart after a Force Quit. It will only restart after teh USB HD is turned off.
If you restart TC with the USB HD connected, the AirPort Utility will not find it, but you can access the WiFi.
Time Machine backup will run, and run, and run, and run....
AirPort Utility hangs up most fo the time, but File Sharing is enabled using the TC password
Sometimes, the HD (TC and USB HD) will appear under the iMac in devices.
What do I have on this drive? iTunes Media and Aperture Masters. Cannot relate to the content as I never even get to the point of accessing the files.
Disconnect the USB HD, and everything is fine.
Any ideas?

Your post made me think about it differently. Start taking a look at the hardware component.
As a result, I think I have isolated it to the HD enclosure.
Pulled out an old external HD that I retired last year (Maxtor 750GB retial unit), and it works as expected.
Put the new one on (2TB WD Green in a Eagle Tech enclusure) and everything locks up.
In the future, spend more on the enclosure. It seems to work fine when connected to the iMac, but there is something that causes problems when it interfaces with the TC.
Thanks

Sleeping MBP + ACD + Logitech KBM = SBBOD

I have recently bought one of the new 24" Apple Cinema Displays to plug my MBP into at home to replace my old iMac. I have a Logitech S530 Wireless keyboard and mouse that I use with it, and have the latest Logitech Control Panel.
The KB/Mouse receiver is plugged into the USB port on the monitor. The problem I am running into is if I reconnect my laptop to the monitor and KB/Mouse the laptop gets the SBBOD and I have to do a hard shutdown. The steps I take are
1) Open the laptop, type password etc
2) Plug in power
3) Plug in monitor, ACD comes on, laptop is still responding.
4) Plug in the USB cable from the monitor, wait about 10 seconds, lockup. Every time, without fail.
I can move the cursor around with the trackpad, but clicks don't respond, and I can't do anything with the keyboard.
At work I have an older 20" apple monitor, and I don't have this problem. There I am using a Logitech Wave setup instead of the S530, but it uses the same driver software.
Any suggestions on how to stop this from locking up so I don't have to shutdown my laptop just to plug it into the monitor?
Thanks
Chris

Oops. I just realised I posted this in the wrong section. Can a mod move this up to the late model MBP forums please?
Sorry!

SBBOD after logon

Hi Guys. I have a problem with a MacBook Pro, where everything appears to be alright until after you login. As soon as you click or do anything after logging in the SBBOD appears and you cannot stop it. No keyboard commands work, all I can do is to force power off the computer.
I have run the Disk Utility and repaired permissions, verified disk and repaired disk and still the problem persists.
If I login normally nothing loads on the desktop, all I get straight away is the SBBOD. If I start in Safe mode the dock and menus appear, but as soon as I click on anything or issue any command via the keyboard the SBBOD appears again.
Does anyone have any experience with this problem?
I have spent hours/days on this and can't find anything remotely like a solution. Can anyone help?
P.S. I am not a Mac user so do not have any experience with Mac’s, I come from a Windows background.

Thanks for the post. I have read and looked at nearly all of these solutions, the problem I have is that I cannot follow any of these diagnostic steps as I am unable to do anything, i.e., as soon as I either click the mouse, move the mouse, press a key... anything the SBBOD appears and then that is it, I can't do anything accept power off the machine.
I have tried things like pressing Command+space to bring up the search window to type "Activity Monitor", but alas the SBBOD appears straight away and that is that.
So in summary I have no way of working through any of these diagnostic steps.
As this is not my MacBook and the owner does not know what version of the OS he is running, it is hard to know exactly what steps will work. Looking at the version from within the Bash shell I can see that it is 10.10.2 which from what I understand, equates to Yosemite. Remember I can't run/do anything on the MacBook to find out for sure. I also do not have the original disks that came with the MacBook, so I can’t use those to do any diagnostics.
So what I have done so far:
Run Disk Utility
Verify Permissions
Repair Permissions
Verify Disk
Repair Disk
Safe BootThis works sometimes, i.e. it will let me in after logon with the dock and menu bar, but as soon as I click on anything or do anything for that matter the SBBOD appears. Other times all I get is the desktop background wallpaper and nothing else. Again as soon as I click the mouse the SBBOD appears.
Then I started in single user mode and run fsck –fy until I got the “…appears to be OK” message, and rebooted.
I have also reset the NVRAM.
Nothing works.
One thing to note, is that after resetting the NVRAM I get the audible bong at start-up/power-up. However after repairing the permissions this stops working.
I am now looking at creating an external USB startup disk with a copy of Yosemite on it to see if I can at least backup their data, and maybe do some diagnostics from there. The problem I have with this is that I do not have MAC to create this drive so am trying to work out how to create one from a Windows 7 machine. Fun and game :-)
Again any ideas would be helpful.

MacBook Pro won't boot, and then frozen by SBBOD

My MacBook Pro constantly freezes when I try to perform any task. I frequently encounter the spinning beach ball of death. Even if I don't see it then accomplishing anything is nearly impossible! The computer starts up very slowly and displays the gray screen and spinning gear for a prolonged period of time. Often times the computer won't start up at all and freezes on the gray screen.
My System
15" MacBook Pro - mid 2009
2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB RAM
Hard drive has 370 GB free out of 500
Fixes attempted
Repaired disk permissions
Uninstalled nonessential apps, including antivirus software (Avast was removed months ago)
CPU activity appears ok, frozen processes stopped
Trash emptied
Computer booted in safe mode, still got the SBBOD
This has basically rendered our computer nonfunctional and useless! For example, it took me nearly 30 minutes just to write this message. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Fixing a Mavericks Installation Problem
How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551dn - Optional USB Device port

Hi, I'm hoping to buy the optional wireless print server (HP Jetdirect 2700w USB Wireless Print Server J8026A). There is one problem though, the optional USB device port seems to not exist on my printer. I only notice that the USB logo is present where the port is supposed to be. The plastic in the area is squared off as though it is some sort of break away tab and the port is underneath maybe.
There is no reference to this in the manual anywhere and I am really unsure how to proceed. I don't want to damage anything.
If someone experienced with this model (preferably an HP Employee) can confirm the availability of the port and tell me how to access it (Is it a break away tab?). Part of the reason why I bought this printer is the optional Wireless N print server.
Thank You in advance.

Thank You for your reply. The port you are talking about is the front panel port for walk-up usb printing and firmware upgrades. This port is indeed available on the higher end LaserJet 500 (NON-MFP, printer only edition) as I just used it to upgrade the firmware. The port I am talking about is the one on the left side in the ports section which you use to plug in the optional print server (not the computer I/O port).
This is shown in the official manual and the spec sheet so I'm 85% sure the port is there, hp can't advertise and mention something that is not available as this would be a big problem and make the 2700w print server incompatible when it clearly states that it is. I just need someone to confirm the availability and clear my confusion (either from HP, or another owner who bought the wireless print server 2700w).

I cant figure out why my HTC Droid DNA is no longer recognized by my computer when i hook it up with the USB cable that came with the phone.

I used to be able to just plug in my phone with the USB cable to my Windows 7 computer and browse phone storage with no issues. Now my computer sees it as an android phone but when it tries to automatically install the drivers for my phone on the computer, i get an access denied error message. No option on the phone that i can see that allows me to mount phone as a usb drive. This used to work just fine with nothing more than just hooking up the cable. What gives??

Let's get that access granted again, e_rock_b. The HTC DNA doesn't have a special USB Mass Storage Mode that needs to be turned on. Usually, it's as simple as connecting and browsing http://vz.to/1jktbZD as you mentioned. If your computer is no longer allowing that easy access, try the steps at http://vz.to/1jktvr6.

USB Device for IPOD not recognized by Windows, whether ipod connected or no

During the past few days I have received a pop up error message from (I would think) Windows that the USB device is not recognized. I have the USB plug for the ipod connected (as always)but the ipod isn't even connected. It keeps popping up like every few seconds that the usb device is not recognized.
When I attach the ipod itself, the ipod is recognizing it because it powers up. But, it took 10 times just to get the ipod to recognize through itunes. It updated, then immediately upon completion, windows again starting giving repeated error messages that the usb device wasn't recognized.
I have downloaded the newest itunes but I had it on my system for 4 days with no problems whatsoever. I don't think that's it. No other system changes.
I've deleted my temp files and cache. Also did a "disk clean up" and "defrag." It's still doing it.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. Ever since I upgraded to version 7, iTunes & my PC no longer recognise my iPod, and it therefore won't sync.
It's not the USB port (other devices work in it), I rebooted my iPod and re-installed iTunes, I've tried stopping and starting the iPod Service (but can't see my iPod in My Computer). When I run the Diagnostics it says iPod connection failed. I've even bought a new USB cable but that doesn't work either.
This is driving me up the wall. Is there a glitch with iTunes 7?
Can anyone help me out?? Thanks

Stuck: Need Disk repair but DVD drive dead and only have USB 1

[1 Ghz flat-panel iMac with USB 1 ports (no USB 2) and also Firewire 400]
I noticed a strange discrepancy (small but concerning) between the size of a folder on hard drive (folder of all mp3's with no subfolders) and the backup of the same folder on a mounted thumb drive.
(The size difference was not due to any invisible .DS_Store files and both folders are displayed in List view format.)
Disk Utility reports three things:
1. Incorrect number of thread records
2. Volume Bit Map needs minor repair
3. Checking volume information.
Volume free block count",0) [I might have mangled this line]
(It should be 13438611 instead of 13437937)
Here is the GOOD (but these are useless as explained under the "Bad"):
- I have a Tiger 10.4 boot DVD for a repair ==>but see below
- I also have a Disk Warrior disk (never used)
Here is the BAD:
- My built-in optical drive [Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-105] is -- I now discover - defunct and DEAD - it does not run the Tiger Boot DVD (in pristine shape).
- I bought an external SuperDrive (unopened) but I believe no boot from USB 1 is possible in PowerPC so a SuperDrive with USB 1 is useless.
Questions:
1.) Is there any way to boot from some external source (optical drive is DEAD) to run Disk Utility and/or Disk Warrior? -- I see none in this case! (gulp).
2.) More importantly (and this is my fundamental concern): Do the three Disk Utility hard drive issues constitute any direct threat to the integrity of my files?
I have almost everything backed up to duplicate thumb drives over these many months as standard practice.
Are these Disk Utility errors fully isolated to hard drive directory-keeping...or do these directory damage errors pose the possibility of mangling or harming my files or their metadata (filesize, etc.).
Put another way, when files are backed-up from a hard drive under the Disk Utility reports above, do they remain unharmed and undamaged by the situations reported by Disk Utility?
Thanks,
Bill

Jeff and Michael,
Thank you both for your generous and thoughtful input.
Michael: As I slept on it overnight, the exact same idea occurred to me of trying a Target Mode to the iMac from my Lion MacbookPro (I have it but stupidly have yet to use it much!).
I did buy a Firewire 800 (MBP) to Firewire 400 (iMac) adapter cable a few months ago!
CONCERN: Would there be potential compatibility issues or risks in running Lion 10.7's Disk Utility against the hard drive of the old OSX 10.4 iMac in Target Disk Mode?
==> Assuming an "it's ok" answer to the Target Disk question, would the majority of users agree that the Target Disk Mode would be more prudent than running:
fsck -fy in Single User Mode
I have never done fsck -fy before especially because I was under the impression there were issues with Journaled drived but from what I have read today...it looks ok to do)
Jeff: Can't thank you enough for the reference to the OTW DVD drive. I might first invest $10 in one of those DVD lens cleaner disks that I've read about. It's probably not the issue or else why would the drive read commercial Music cds perfectly well!
Thanks,
Bilil

How do I install windows from USB on Macbook pro 3,1

How do I install windows from USB on Macbook pro 3,1 ?
My Superdrive is far from super anymore, So I managed to make an extern drive with both Snow Leopard Partition, Lion Partition (Since I thought Boot Camp 4,1 would bypass my problem), and Time Machine partition, Since I got 1. USB drive that works.
- My general issue is that Boot camp Refuse to see the USB drive - (Many "how to"´s though show how they install windows perfectly through the USB port, but they use airbooks!, and somehow the Macbook will not ?)
I fix that issue with >> rEFIt <<, that suddenly makes it possible for the Mac to see the USB drive, and partitions.
Which was very strange since I could use an extern HD with the whole installation to start up wipe the whole disk, and then use my extern drive with partitions to install Snow Leopard and get everything as before with timemachine. Very smart with timemachine, but very lucky that I have a extern drive that runs the whole system and that I made the partitionsdrive before. DVD-drives are the past!
Point: So the original system could see the Snow Leopard installation USB disk, but boot camp cannot find the USB drive ?????????
After rEFIt I booted and then I got this error:
Starting bootmgr.efi
Error: Unsupported while loading bootmgr.efi
I read it could be a problem with the Windows software, so I purchased an extern DVD drive, Used Disk Utility to make an image (.DMG), then used another program to convert the .dmg to .ISO.
Then downloaded a trialversion of vmWare fusion, and installed windows from the iso. Everything worked brilliant, except and that is why I want to use boot camp, Running windows in another program while running the mac system is a little hacky and slow.
Point: Nothing is wrong with the windows software, and windows runs fine.
I then downloaded the Windows DVD / USB Tool, reformatted a USB drive as Master Boot Partition, MS-Dos Fat partition, then after lots of struggling got Vmware, windows to recognise the USB drive. And installed the windows software on the USB drive, as all the walkthroughs recommend.
Then I tried for "fun"! to just install windows form the extern USB drive, and with rEFIt it will see the drive and start to do something, but then when it starts to boot, the screen just turns into black and nothing happens, and you can see the drive does NOTHING. (I think it is because I only have 1 USB drive and the Extern DVD drive does not get enough power, but again the mac refuse to see the USB drive unless it is a Snow Leopard installation USB-drive!
Well trying to install Windows Ultimate 64 Bit, which worked great in vmware, because that program installed from the .ISO file that I had on the desktop, but trying with Boot Camp did not get anywhere, what kind of **** program is this boot camp anyway!?, but then I try the new USB disk with windows made from windows, thorugh rEFIt, it sees the disk and then starts and then I get this ERROR:
rEFIt - Booting Legacy OS
Starting legacy loader
Using load option ´USB´
Error: Not found returned from legacy loader
Error: Not found from LocateDevicePath
(x 9 times)
Error: Load Error while (re)opening our installation volume
The firmware refused to boot from the selected volume. Note that external hard drives are not well-supported by Apple´s firmware for legacy OS booting
(Hey Apple please send out a updated firmware that fix this issue?!)
So how do I do it ? - or is the only option to fix the partition running the system from the extern disk. Format the whole drive in 2 from the "bottom" and install windows and then afterwards install Mac on the other partition ? Or just run windows on the mac and forget about mac software ? What a stupid solution...

There are strings in the pliist file to add other Macs so that you can use some USB-DVD drives.
This is 5 page thread, so a little more 'meat' to it:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3410900?start=60&tstart=0
And on PC booting Windows from a USB DVD to do the install is usually a piece of cake, sometimes you just need to specify that USB in the BIOS boot order and sometimes select via F12 (or another Fkey) and that is it.
What you have here seems to be everything and everyone is excluded unless there is a mac-model device ID string that specifies yes. An unnecessary hurdle.

USB 6009 lock-ups?

Hello,
I'm having a strange problem with my newly aquired USB 6009. I've written an app to read the temperature from a temperature controller using the 6009 and that all works fine. However, the problem comes when I port this code into another application. The code is intended to run in a parallel loop to the main execution loop, to continuously read the temperature whilst other data is captured and process (all done in the main loop). Both applications run quite happily when separate. When I bring them together the applications sometimes, but not all the time, refuse to quit and just lock up. I have no idea what is happening as it is not a case of one loop remaining running (I've tried separate stop buttons) and they will run together quite happily. The problem only comes when I hit the button that terminates the main loop (this also triggers the other loop to stop - I'm sure this bit works as I've used the same method in another vi).
The main loop should, in theory, just close. The loop with the USB reads (using DAQmx Base) will stop and then clear the task (DAQmx Base Clear I think). Sometimes the DAQmx Base Clear runs and the program stops fine, other times it runs and the program locks, other times it locks as soon as I hit the quit button.
Any thoughts as I'm completely stumped on this one? Like I say, apart from the one button triggering both loops to terminate there is no link between the two loops.
My only thought is it could be a USB issue as the PC also has a USB keyboard and mouse. I know from my home experience, when for instance plugging in my camera, it can cause the USB to lock if, say, my USB modem is running.

USB CAUSING LOCK-UPS

Hi,
30-40% of the time when I use my front usb it will cause Win XP to lock up and I have to hit the reset button. Has anyone else experienced this and also any remedies? It happens with my scanner, gamepad and ipaq. Setup=Win XP prof w/ service pack 1, KT3ultra2, AMD 1600xp, power supply is 400 watts.
Thanx

Hi Maesus,
I have AMI bios version 3.31a. I can't find the usb version on XP (I only know how to get to it on Win 98SE). It's the one that came with Win XP. If it matters, the VIA driver I'm using is v4.42. Lastly the USB connectors are the ones built into the front panel of my case. I wired it up according to the manual.
Again, the unusual thing is when it doesn't lock-up everything works fine.
Thanx again for your help

MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool!!!

Hi guys,
We the forum team have developed a new way of flashing.
You no longer need a floppy or anything, just an USB-stick.
The tool has been tested together with MSI and as far as we have done our testing, there are no problems at all.
As long as the USB-stick is FAT or FAT32 formatted!
However, flashing is allways risky, so if it goes bad it's your own fault, but that goes for all flashing you do.
This tool is intended to flash MSI retail motherboards and laptops,
but if needs you can use any other machine to prepare the necessary stuffs and the USB stick there,
before move the USB stick to the msi product that you want to flash.
The way it works is simple: Download the package and download the BIOS from the MSI website that you want to flash.
The rest is straight forward.
Make sure that your board is set to be able to boot from USB.
So turn on USB Legacy Support in the BIOS.
Boot and press F11 to get the boot-popup and select your USB-device to boot.
(some boards have a different key, like K8N Master uses ESC for the boot-menu)
What ever you do, make sure you read all warnings!
The forum nor MSI is responsible if it fails for you.
Nor is this software supported by MSI technical support!
Please report problems/buggs if you find them.
currently supported OS ( both 32 & 64 bit):
Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 (also Windows in Virtualbox under Linux!)
(all kind of versions)
NOTE: If you are having problems getting your USB device to boot correctly, you may need to format it correctly as the geometry data may be incorrect. You can do that by pickup option "Fix My USB key" from the Tool or by using >>> THIS <<< tool here! For future usage you can skip this step, it need to be done only once if your stick need adjustment.
This topic is for discussion of and help with the USB flash tool only. If you have a problem with your PC and need help then do not hijack this topic, please start your own new topic in the correct area of this forum!
NEW! >>> Read the comprehensive user guide here! <<<

Hi!
I'm have problem with antivirus program too.
Dr.Web
C:\Temp\x863\bossmsi.exe - инфицирован Trojan.Blakhal
Kaspersky Anti-Virus
bossmsi.exe - инфицирован Backdoor.Win32.Iroffer.af
This file is a antivirus testing program?
Hi Max,
"This file is a antivirus testing program? "
yes, the latest version accidentally really become a test for any AV....
in latest 1.13b Avast! no more report false positive,
but all others AV software starting reporting a different false positive results:(all AV listed didn't report false positive problem in a provisional version) Avast! was fixed and no more report the false passivity and passed, but all other AV software started to be a lot confused...
Kaspersky Anti-Virus - Proactive Defense Warning: Riskware detected.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2nd ID - Backdoor.Win32.Iroffer.af
Dr Solomon's: probably found Zafi.D.Virus
Symantec: Bloodhound.Overpacked / * Overpacked when a potentially unknown virus is found using Symantec Bloodhound technology */
Panda: Win32:Trojan-gen.(Mytob.U.Mod)
Mcafe: Worm.W32/Bakain
Dr.Web: Trojan.Blakhal
Bit.Defender: Trojan.JS.Obsq.Gen
Just to clarify one more time, all things listed are false alert coused and exist in latest version only due Avast! fix.(1.13b)
didn't continue to test with rest of AV...
only Avast! and NOD32 report no problem detected.
in 1.13a all false positive listed above doesn't exist, but only Avast! report false positive.
Hoverer, the wave of false positive mess has been resolved along with Avast! false positive as well.
New version is ready, 1.13c:
- fixed false positive wave which confusing most of AV software. (all AV do not report any problems anymore)
- fixed 3 minor bugs:
* after finished work the tool do not quit normal as expected and hang instead, that happend in x32bit OS only when used has been asked for reboot and answered with "No". e.g. in described specified case.
* 4th mainboard filter report positive results in some Biostart mainboard and this cause tool to false ID some Biostar board as MSI one.
* added missing drive letter as USB key choice ("I")

USB HD, 10.4.7, SBBOD
