USB Mass storage devices fail to install
This happened first on an upgrade from XP SP2 to RC1, and now on a clean
install. None of my USB mass storage devices would appear in Disk Management or Computer. Looking at error messages I was seeing a driver failed to install with a bad parameter. I did a clean install and all of them appear. However, while working with a 120 GB Seagate FDE, I ran that unlock utility which changes the capacity of the drive. When first installed an FDE drive is limited to a partition of 8 meg, requiring the user to unlock the drive to get the full benefits of FDE and all those gigabytes. However, again during the install, or reconcilitation of drivers, I can only assume USB since perse there is no driver for a disk on a Windows system, the driver failed with "bad paramter". Any thoughts? System: Precision M70, Pentium M 2.13 GHz Hitachi 60GB HDD 1 G RAM Gary G. Little |

Yes,I have the same problems.
None of my usb-disks (included usb-disk,usb-hdd,psp,card reader...) can be installed for the drivers. 1st, vista will find a new hardware,then it reports "search for a friver?" both choose auto or manully will get the same answer "can not find the driver". 2nd, I tried the way as WINXP: delete the USB roots' drivers (3 in my laptop). In XP, it will auto-rescan the drivers for USB roots,then find the sub-hardwares (ex:USB mass storage drvices). But in RC1, USB roots cant be install for the driver either... So, nothing found then.

OK,Gary. By wasting whole night's time, I found out the solution.
Simple browse the drivers from "x:\windows(include the subdirs)". OK! "sbok" wrote: Yes,I have the same problems.
