[access-uk] Re: A PROBLEM WITH USB STORAGE DEVICE

OK, would make some sense now.

Thanks George.
I'm working on a card currently but expect I'll find an "eject" option when I look for one. <Smiles> 

Thanks for the help and Yusef and Chris too.

Hi Carol,

Yes, "Eject" sounds an odd word for a device that cannot
actually spit the cards physically out of the drive, but
what can I say?

Oh, so I should be going for eject.  That would work in some
devices but
what about CF cards?

Hi Carol,

Safely remove Hardware is doing exactly what it says on

the

tin. It is for totally removing the device. That said, if
you then physically remove it, wait a second or two, and
plug it back in, it should be there, but........

What you should be using is "Eject Card" or something
similar.  Unfortunately I don't have my own card reader
handy to go through the precise details, but from My
Computer, if you right click on the drive, the option

should

be there.  If it does happen to be writing to the device

at

the time, you will get a warning message.

George.

Yep, but I'm having to reboot all the time to start off

the

storage device
once again ...

Kind of sickening!

DEVICE




Thanks, Usuf, but I definitely stop and remove the

hardware properly.

Like you, I have occasionally come across the message

that indicates the

device isn't stopped but a repeat does it.

I'm a bit foxed with this one, let me tell you.

Hi Carol, The only thing I thought was are you making

sure that your

correctly removing the storage device? Do you go

through

the steps: 1

safely remove hardware, 2 select the device from the

list, 3 tab to stop

device and then make sure that windows has given you

the

message that it

is safe to remove the device.

sometimes I have noticed that windows says it is unable

to remove the

device and gives an ok button. but repeating the

process

works. I think

this is down to a program in windows stil accessing the

hard drive.

Hi All,

Forgive me if you've seen this but I had no replies

and

wondered

whether the original message got through.  Any help

would be much

appreciated.

I'm having a problem with my USB storage device, built

into the

computer, in
that, once I've stopped a device to take out a CF card

(or similar), I

then
cannot insert another card of the same type and get

the

device going

again.
This also applies to my stand-alone USB ports and an

external card

reader I
sometimes use.  My only way forward seems to be to

reboot.  As I am

frequently wanting to use various cards, this is

somewhat annoying, to

say
the least ...

I don't recall that these ports always worked like

this

and wonder if

something has changed (with regard to MS Services

which

may have become

turned off (perhaps as various software has been

introduced or

upgraded)
that are needed for my USB's to function correctly.

I haven't knowingly played with any Services and,

before doing so,

would
value any thoughts as to whether a manual change made

by me will solve

the
problem.  If you have any suggestions, I look forward

to hearing from

you.

Thanks.
