Which Windows XP (64 bit) services are needed for Floppy Drive 7 in 1 Card Reader (FA404M) ?

[Skybuck Flying]

Hello,

Which Windows XP (64 bit) services are needed for Floppy Drive 7 in 1 Card
Reader (FA404M) ?

I think I turned off some services and now the card reader is not working
any more.

It does not show up in windows explorer.

The floppy drive does show up but the remote/removable storage drives are
gone.

I tried turning on some services and even changing some bios settings
nothing helped so far ?!!!!!!!!!

Service hell it seems.

For a 10+ billion dollar costing operating system pretty ****ing
unbelieveable

Bye,
Skybuck.

I started a whole lot of services and it still not working.... very
strange....

Maybe the thing died... or maybe something else ****ed it up... strange
strange strange.

Bye,
Skybuck.

I read somewhere it could be a usb driver problem ?

It's not strange in my world. Have you uninstalled everything, booted
into safe mode and uninstalled all the dead wood in device manager,
and then reinstalled?

If that doesn't work, here is a message ID for a post you might find
useful:

I`ve got one of these under Windows XP SP2 (32 bit version). The floppy
drive works fine. The icons for two removable drives come up, but trying to
open them just results in an "insert disk in drive" error message. I`ve
tested the reader with known good SD and Memory stick memory, both of which
worked before and after the test.

Any ideas what might be wrong with it? Driver issue, or is it RMA time?

Some say do a system restore before some generic usb driver was installed.

It seems windowsupdate did something like that.

I don't believe my drive is damaged for one second.

I believe 99% driver bug, 1% damaged possbility.

Deamon Tools also stopped working after WindowsUpdate.

These things piss me off enough that I even start considering linux or
something else lol, though I would hate that.

What's more annoying than this scenerio ?

You hope to improve your operating system etc by going to WindowsUpdate and
instead you are worse off than before !

Pretty ****ing annoying !

We are a system builder and have had customers report issues like that.
Apparently, Windows Update changes the USB driver to one called
"Genesys" which causes problems. See fix below...

(The solution was (as stated in a previous reply) to use Device Manager, go
to Universal Serial Bus Controllers, select the "Genesys Mass Storage
Device", and change the driver back to the standard "USB Mass Storage
Device"
In detail - double click the Genesys USB Mass Storage Device -> Driver
tab ->
Update Driver -> "No, not this time" -> Install from list or specific
location (Advanced) -> Don't Search. I will choose the driver to install ->
"USB Mass Storage Device" -> Next, etc... )

My windows xp 64 bit situation is as follows:

Universal Serial Bus controllers:

- Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
- Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller
- USB Composite Device
- USB Root Hub
- USB Root Hub

Which of these could be usb mouse, usb keyboard and usb flash drive ? kinda
strange.

This section is also kinda strange:

Human Interface Devices:

- HID-compliant consumer control device
- HID-compliant device (When I click on Driver Details it says: no driver
files required or have been loaded.)
- USB Human Interface Device
- USB Human Interface Device
- USB Human Interface Device

I only have a usb keyboard and usb mouse.

So why three USB things, kinda strange as well.

Sigh.

Hello,

I'm on a dial up so I'll keep it short.

I just wanna say my flash drive is working again and I am loving it

I think it was a bios problem.

I set the speed to hi-speed or full speed, can't remember which... that
solved it.

So check usb 2.0 speed in bios and try changing it if you are having
problems.

Ofcourse this is pure speculation but I think this was the problem...
since I can remember I changed it to see what would give more speed
etc.

USB 2.0 flash drive is pretty speedy... I haven't done any speed tests
yet.. but my first estimate is 10 MB/sec... it's at least much faster
than 4 MB/sec that's for sure !

Bye,
Skybuck.

yet.. but my first estimate is 10 MB/sec... it's at least much faster

For USB2-attached hard disk (usual Seagate Barracuda, the USB-to-ATA adapter is
in the portable drive box) - I saw the speeds up to 22-23MB/s.

For 1394 attachment (same box) - up to 27MB/s
