#Usb mass storage driver drivers#
That would mean traces of the previous drivers are still being used by windows. I have made a quick check and found that the "USB Mass Storage Port" is a reference to the Cruzer drivers from Nathan's pack. Rebooted, still no drive, still a problem.Īt this point I uninstalled the whole package and pointed Windows again at the drivers I got from Nathan Lineback. I figured that it was because I hadn't rebooted yet. I said No and saw that the device had a problem.
I think I deleted the entry in the register, and tried again, and asked me to reboot this time. I don't remember exactly what I did at this point. Looking at Control Panel > System I saw it had a problem. I tried my USB stick, but it got identified as "USB Mass Storage Port", and no drive appeared in My Computer. I took a look at the HDD with my brother's laptop, and it's an NTFS drive. Unplugged, plugged it back in, now only "USB Mass Storage Device" appeared. After reboot there were two entries for it: the previous one and "USB Mass Storage Device". Weirdly enough it asked me to reboot after identifying it as "USB Mass Storage Interface". I just pointed at the Program Files directory I had let the extractor put it at before.

So I tried again, and this time I could specifiy the driver path. But then, while uninstalling the drivers, I also deleted the key for "USB Mass Storage Port". When I plugged in the HDD, it still used the SanDisk drivers, so I thought it didn't help. It will only show usb devices if it is active, else the list is empty. It is a beta version systray utility with a close/exit option. The eject/removal utility does not write anything to the registry. Remove all driver files as listed in the _usbtor.inf To remove usbstor driver usage comletely, remove all references to the required VID/PID under USB and all in USBSTOR in the HKLM\ENUM\USB registry section. To remove from using the drivers again, delete usbstor.inf from the INF directory.Ħ. Device class ID will be added to the registry.ĥ. The device removal utility will be placed into SYSTEM directory and a startup ejectusb link will be placed into HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunĤ. Storage drivers will be copied to OPTIONS\CABS directory.ģ. The driver pack will add usbstor.inf and patched nodriver.inf to the INF directory.Ģ. Nice! I need to know, though: what do I do if this doesn't go well? What files/reg keys to delete/modify?ġ.
