I have Windows Vista x64 installed on my PC, and nVidia Forceware motherboard and graphics cards.When I plug in any removable drive into my USB 2.0 port, Windows begins installing the device driver software, and then sees it as an Unknown Device. The dialog pops up where it asks me if I want to "Locate and install driver software", "Ask me again later", or "Don't show this message again for this device".I select the recommended option: "Locate and install driver software"I click "Continue" when Windows asks me permission to continue.Then, when the Driver Software Installation program is running in the bottom right corner of my screen, while Installing device driver software, it shows "Unidentified Device Failed".Then another window pops up saying this:"Found New Hardware - Unknown DeviceWindows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your deviceWindows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.KodakAn error occurred during the installation of the device:The driver installation file for this device is missing a necessary entry. This may be because the INF was written for Windows 95 or later. Contact your hardware vendor.If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."That's what it does when I try to hook up my Kodak Easyshare M550 digital camera. I would go ahead and contact Kodak, but the problem seems to extend to ANY removable device on my computer.For instance, I have a Lexar Flashdrive. When I plug it into my USB 2.0 port, it Windows says the following:"Windows needs to install driver software for your USB Flash Drive", etc..."Installing device driver software", "USB Flash Drive Searching Windows Update"...Next, a window pops up asking me to "Insert the disc that came with your USB Flash Drive". Problem is, no driver disc came with the hardware as Windows Vista is supposed to come with the drivers. I know this because both the camera and the usb flash drive worked just fine before I reinstalled Windows Vista on my new hard drive (fresh install, since my old hard drive crashed), and I never EVER had to install device drivers for Windows to recognize either as a removable drive and automatically work.Also, I installed Daemon Tools Lite, and I had to manually "Update" the device driver to point to the "Windows\INF" folder in my hard drive, after copying the necessary cdrom files from specific subfolders, for Windows to let the program assign a drive letter to the virtual drive it creates.I suspect that possibly not all of the device drivers were installed when I installed Windows Vista this time. If that's the problem, I don't know how that might have happened, nor how to fix it, but I would really prefer to find a way to fix this without reinstalling Windows Vista again. I don't mind manually installing drivers as long as somebody can show me what files to copy and where to find them on the Windows Vista disc that I purchased from Microsoft. I KNOW that Windows SHOULD come with these drivers.If someone knows how I can fix this, please tell me, because this is ridiculous not being able to use any removable device drives (barring use of all Flash Drives). Thanks in advance.1 person needs an answerI do too
