Hi! I am working with some SATA devices and looks like one of them does not behave normally. I need to work with the other devices and for this i need the device manager or Devcon's rescan to work good. But, in this situation these utilities got stuck (and looks like it is a loop of “ComReset” to the bad device) Is there a way to avoid this stuck without disconnection the bad device (fix to Devcon utility or other workaround?) Thanks, SHARON

Hi, Regarding the issue, I suggest that you may try to use ”chkdsk” command in Windows PE to repair the disk: 1. Start up your computer, press F8,then chose system repair.(Or put the Windows 7 installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.) 2. Press a key when you are prompted. 3. Select a language, a time, a currency, a keyboard or an input method, and then click Next. 4. Click Repair your computer. 5. Click the operating system that you want to repair, and then click Next. 6. In the System Recovery Options dialog box, click Command Prompt. 7. Type Chkdsk X: /f /r, then press Enter. (X: is the volume letter you want to check). 8. Repro the steps above to check the partition one by one. If the problem still appears, please try to use “devcon status @pci\*” command then check which device doesn’t listed. In case it isn’t a system volume, you could uninstall it in device manager.
