Mass Media Storage Driver by
schecterguitar
While uninstalling a few unneeded programs the other day I accidentally
uninstalled the Mass Media Storage Driver and didn't notice until after
it was completely uninstalled (kicks self in face).
I can't find my Vista disc right now so I was wondering if there was
anywhere online I could re-install it?
Any help would be great.
Thanks,

Hard drive accessing constantly while in screen saver by
Boardjunkie
Good Morning,
I recently installed Vista Home Premium X64 on my machine, and this
started happening. When I awaken the PC it stops accessing almost
instantly. I'm not sure if this is even the right place to ask, but I'd
really appreciate if anyone had a little insight to share.
Thanks in advance,
Troy

Windows doesn't show optical drive by
sleeplessinnewjersey
Windows Home Basic does not recognize an inserted optical disk. Indeed, it
doesn't show the drive at all. I performed a non-distructive system
recovery. Nothing had changed. I went to Device Manager and found an
exclamation point for the optical drive. I uninstalled the driver expecting
Windows to reload it at restart and rebooted. Again, nothing had changed.
I have the Vista...

Can't access broken Vista OS drive as an external drive on XP by
mynameisstolen
Hi.
My notebook hard drive (Vista Home) was failing (I botched the install
of SP1) and I was unable to backup my files before it wouldn't boot
anymore.
I hoped I could use the drive externally on my XP P4 desktop to
transfer the files over. XP sees the drive as D & E (main partition and
recovery partition). But when I try to access the drive, it just runs. I

RTL8029 drivers for Vista? by
rodier
Hi all
Im searching for drivers for Realtek 8029 (10mbit pci) card for Vista
x64.
I know many cards have that chipset, and it was native supported in XP,
so I dont understand why they removed it in Vista.
When I try XP drivers from some manufacturers, it tell me, there is no
drivers for that device or its not x64.
Anyone know how to solve it? Maybe some trick to force install 32bit
drivers? I...

Raid problem by
Andy Baker
I have an Acer laptop running Vista Ultimate that contains 2 identical hard
drives. When the laptop was purchased, the first drive was partitioned into

Windows I could 'see' C: and D: only.
My problem is that the RAID array has stopped working, and I now have 3
drives, C:, D: and E: visible when I click on Computer....
