Default Driver error on USB Stick and other USB devices

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS FIXED MY ENTIRE PROBLEM OF NOT BEING ABLE TO INSTALL MY iPOD, HP
PERSONAL MEDIA DEVICE 350GB, & MY WESTERN DIGITAL 500GB USB STORAGE.

I HAD THIS INSTALLED ON MY COMPUTER FOR MY SECONDARY NETWORK AT HOME.

PLEASE SEND THIS AS A FIX TO THE BIG DOGS AT MICROSOFT...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the same error with all USB Mass Storage devices from flash drives to
iPods. I was able to successfully get them working by uninstalling the
software for my Netgear SC101 network storage unit, which doesn't work in
Vista anyway. Perhaps there is a similar device with bad drivers on your
system mucking things up as well.

Hope this helps,

Phil

After installing an upgrade to 5600 I tried to install
- a compact flash
- 2 different usb sticks
- a cf card, sd card, memory stick card reader on USB

All have the same issue. The USB storage driver installs but the device
driver underneath fails with the error
"Disk Drive"
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
The parameter is incorrect.

This are standard USB sticks or Compact flash cards. Do i really need a
driver from the manufacturer for them, should those standard drivers not be
included?

the events I get are like:
Driver Management concluded the process to install driver
FileRepository\disk.inf_21f4651a\disk.inf for Device Instance ID
USBSTOR\DISK&VEN_GENERIC&PROD_USB_SD_READER&REV_1. 00\058F312D81B&0 with the
following status: 87.

Any help is appreciated!
