Solution to USB (HD and flash drive) problem!!
Ok I found the problem with usb ext drives (Hard drive, flash, etc). For
some reason the usbstor.inf and usbstor.sys were missing for some unknown reason. Was keeping me from loading any ext drive including flash drives. I found the files in C:\Windows\System32\FileRepository\usbstor.inf_so me hex junk folder. Just copy the usbstor.inf to C:\Windows\inf and usbstor.sys to C:\Windows\System32 P.S. You fix at your own risk!!! While this worked for me that does not mean it will work for you. |
