USB Mass Media driver trouble

I have a HP Pavilion desktop model a6334f running Windows Vista 32-bit and whenever I reboot the computer it is recognizing a USB flash/thumb drive in one of my USB ports, but it's not plugged in.
I checked the Device Manager for this USB port and it gives me the following error message:
LOC: PORT_#0005, HUB_#0008
Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for "safe removal", but has not been removed from the computer. (CODE 47)
To fix this problem, unplug this device from your computer and plug it in again.
The flash/thumb drive is NOT in either of my USB ports but for some reason everytime I boot the PC it recognizes it in the USB port and intermittently the PC will reboot on it's own.
It appears to me that this port is "hung-up". I've tried to uninstall this driver and it will uninstall OK but when the PC reboots, it just reinstalls the driver and I'm back where I started.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Dibyo,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I saw your post about the USB issues and I will be happy to help. How long is a long period of time? I am going to need your product number because there are several models in the Pavilion g6 series. What operating system are you running?

  • 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)

  • Myson-Century CS8818 USB Mass Storage Driver Disk INSTALLATION

    Hello,

    I tried Myson-Century's web site, driverguide.com and apple.com, without any successes...

    Hello,
    Thank you for your answer.
    Actually, I known I should not need any drivers to install any USB Mass Storage Drivers Disks, but this one will not appear on the desktop when connected to the iMac.
    Even though the Myson-Century CS8818 USB Mass Storage Driver Disk was connected and powered before booting, it remained unshown...
    Would you have an advice or an idea ?

  • MDT Media - StateStore on USB Deployment media drive?

    MDT 2012 update 1
    I'm doing a Refresh (migrating XP to 7) using USB Media of my working task sequence.
    Everything works, migrates to 7 with all user data etc..
    However I noticed it takes a very long time. There's a "StateStore" folder being created on the USB drive containing the following:
    USB:\StateStore\USMT\File\E$\Deploy\Applications\
    USB:\StateStore\USMT\File\E$\Deploy\Out-of-Box Drivers\
    USB:\StateStore\USMT\File\E$\Deploy\Scripts\
    USB:\StateStore\USMT\File\E$\Deploy\Templates\
    It contains some (but not all) of the folders from the USB:\Deploy\ folder. 
    I still have a StateStore on C:\ containing the user data like it should...
    but why would it ALSO be backing up some of the deployment folders on the USB Media drive?
    After deployment completes, the USB's StateStore folder is never removed either.
    I'd really like to reduce the time it takes by avoiding this useless backup, and potential problems that may surround it.
    I have the following in my CustomSettings.ini, but nothing that should be causing backup of anything on other drives.
    USMTMigFiles001=MigApp.xml
    USMTMigFiles002=MigUser.xml
    USMTMigFiles003=MigFMCNA.xml

    Thanks for the reply!
    I put in the following entry in my custom MigFMCNA.xml, but still have no change.

  • Sudden issue connecting Z10 USB mass media storage to BMW car

    For the past year I have had no issues USB connecting my Z10 to my BMW car (to listen to music) via the USB port. Ever since 2 weeks ago my Z10 has had issues connecting.
    It would initially connect and the car display screen will show the connection as "read" but then when I try to go into the music folder/s nothing works. When I try to open a music folder (via the BMW display screen) I would hear a tiny-soft squeeling sound (2 tenth of a second) and then the car retries to connect to the phone again.
    It's strange how it just suddenly happen. My ' USB mass storage' is switched on which allows the car to read from the phone's media card. I have cleared / formatted the USB card and put the music back onto the media card but the problem still arises. In my opinion it has to be the car electronics system that's causing the issue...unless someone can tell me otherwise.
    Any help?

    Have you tried to connect the phone using the Mass Storage to a computer and to access the media files using the computer.
    Also I would be trying another SD card in the phone just to see if it is not the SD card that is begining to be defect in some part of it

  • Conflict w/Other USB Mass Storage

    I have tried 2x now to get the iPod Shuffle and my Segate Free Agent USB Mass Storage drive to co-exist to no avail. I have re-lettered the iPod to another drive letter, although it defaulted to G and my Mass Storage is F. I have tried changing USB slot positions, nothing. I looked at the MS site and looked at the fix for New Drive or Mapped Network Drive not available and at this point have not applied the hot fix. My USB driver is version 5.1.2600.0 from July 2001.
    I am about ready to give up on the iPod unless someone has a suggestion.

    I was having the exact same problem with a Seagate Freeagent 250GB and 2 different shuffles. I just got it resolved. I had to add a pci usb2 card to my system. I was looking in the device manager and noticed that there was only 1 usb2 controller listed. I guess my system could only handle 1 usb2 device at a time. You'd think one device would default back to usb 1.1, but I guess not.

  • HP Pocket Media Drive 750 GB bent chipset for usb

    I have the 750 gb hp pocket media drive. When I go to plug it in, the cord will not go in, it is stuck, so when I took it out, one of the chips that the cord is supposed to go onto has been pushed up and back. I can't figure out how to fix it, I just need to pull that chip back down so I can get the usb cable on it to read the drive. Any advice?

    Hello Mollie,
    One of the tabs you see in here has been pushed back and is hitting the other side?
    Does the port thats broken look like this? Its called a USB 3.0 Micro-b connector.
    If so, the tab is most likely broken now. They are fragile.
    If you can move it back theres a small chance it will still work but if not, the port will have to be replaced.
    If you are really skilled with a soldering pen, you can do it yourself or find a computer repair shop willing to do it.
    They can be ordered online.
    Example: http://www.mouser.com/new/hiroseconnector/hirosezx360/
    HP does not have a shop you can send too, sorry.

  • IPOD seen as two drives(USB Mass Storage & and Dell USB )

    My IPOD classic has not worked properly since I updated my OS to Windows XP. At first the IPOD was seen as two different USB controllers (Apple USB Driver, and a USB Mass Storage Device) I've gone through every troubleshooting article on the apple website. After downloading a hotfix, my computer recognizes the IPOD as an IPOD but it doesn't connect to itunes long enough for me to restore it. It automatically disconnects after being plugged into the computer. If anybody can help, please, please please let me know.
    Thanks.

    I just purchased an ipod classic 120GB and after downloading itunes to the computer I can no longer use my DVD/CD drive as the ipod is using that drive now, which is the E drive on my computer. I noticed that if I uninstall itunes I get to use my DVD/CD drive again. I do not know what next to try either. So my ipod is seen as a mass storage device, I need help too, can anyone help?

    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.

  • Can't create recovery media -- R&R doesn't see USB dvd-r drive

    I have a cheap asus usb dvd-r drive.  When I plug it in, everything's recognized by windows 7, however, when I get to the screen in create recovery media where I have to selected my device to record on, the drop down menu is blank and I can't select my USB dvd-r drive.  I have seen some other threads telling me to uninstall the driver and restart, but that hasn't worked.  Any ideas?
    x201 tablet, windows 7 32-bit

    plsfoldthx, welcome to the forum,
    please do and check the following; attach the drive when the system is turned off, start the system and then enter bios (F1). Navigate to and open the startup menu and check that the drive is recognised by bios, hit F10 and then enter to save and exit. The system will restart.
    Once windows has booted have another look in R&R to see if the drive is recognised.
    I've always suspected that R&R calls up it's drive information from bios because hot plugging a drive has never worked for me with R&R.
