USB devices require drivers with Vista Sp1


On some PCs with Vista and after installing Service Pack 1, it happened that some USB devices such as hard drive and flash drive were not recognized, and the system required the installation of drivers, whereas before SP1 there was no problem of recognition. Surfing the internet I found a blog (
www.bufferoverflow.it
) explaining how to solve the problem (and work):



After many trials and research

I could not find the solution to the problem of storage devices USB mass storage not recognized by Vista. At the tenth page

an endless thread on the MSDN forums, a user has been decisive. Here's how, with a few changes that I've added:

Open Device Manager and uninstall all unknown devices

For extreme security download and run

USBDeview and uninstall all the USB device for those that might still be displayed.

Download the patch KB940199 . If you have problems getting to install an error message like "version of Vista is not compatible" (can not remember the exact words ...), expand the executable using a tool like 7-zip into the directory expanded and copy the file Windows6.0-KB940199-x86.cab in C:. Now proceed to install using the package manager

command line included in Vista by running the command: "start / w Pkgmgr / ip / m: c: Windows6.0-KB940199-x86.cab" deleted INFCACHE.1 resident in the file C: Windowsinf Having given permission to read / write / execute for all users.

Reboot

connect your hard drive or your USB pendrive, go back into Device Manager, select the unknown device, right-click that, select "Properties" then the "Driver" tab Finally, click on "Update Driver". Selected at this point "Search computer for driver software" and then enter the path to search by pointing to the folder C
: Windowswinsxs
2. . Even if you receive a notice of unsigned driver continued until the end of the installation.

If all goes well, your USB hard drive is finally open and appear between the volumes found in computers.
3. The only hassle I'm having is the need to upgrade drivers from the folder "C: Windowswinsxs" (including a forum admin Sysadmin offers a description ) for all USB storage devices that connect for the first time.
