Need a little help here.
I used to have a Iomega 100 Zip drive on my PC in order to exchange data
between university PC's and the one I have at home. However I decided to get
a second HD which I needed quite badly and to replace the Zip disks with
some USB flash memory devices (like the pen drives). However I'm getting all
sorts of problems using them. The system may recognize them for a minute or
two and then it won't anymore. It hangs any windows I have open where I've
been dealing with it (either Explorer, the Device manager, a properties
page, etc). If I remove the drive everything works perfectly again.
Now, the drive is fine. It works without problems in Safe Mode, but I need
it working under a standard startup. I believe the reason for the problem is
that old Zip drive I used to have. Within safe mode, the drive is simply a
"Removable Drive". Within my user account (owner), it displays the icon that
Windows uses when a file has no association and it says Zip 100.
To try to remedy this I uninstalled the Iomega Active Disk program. I then
went into the registry and removed all the Iomega entries. I also manually
deleted some files that remained in the hard disk after having uninstalled
the Iomega tools. Even though I've done all this, the Control Panel still
has a category for Iomega that has nothing in it when I click on it. Just
opens up a window with some buttons and options but they're all blank. The
USB drive remains being recognized as a Zip 100 as well.
The Event Viewer displays this under Removable Storage Service:
RSM cannot manage library PhysicalDrive2. The database is
corrupt.

Going to that link doesn't give me any help though. Any help with this
situation would be very appreciated!
