RE: usb mass storage drives

I got the same error with all USB Mass Storage devices from flash drives to
iPods. I was able to successfully get them working by uninstalling the
software for my Netgear SC101 network storage unit, which doesn't work in
Vista anyway.

Hope this helps,

Phil

You sir are a lifesaver!...I have a lot less hair after trying to get three
different USB drives to install, and also have the SC101 software installed
while waiting for Netgear to get it in gear and release drivers for the half
a terrabyte they are holding hostage on the SC101 (well not really as I can
still access it from my XP machines...but still!)...I never would have put
the culprit as the SC101, and in fact Kingston has sent RMA's for the drives
thinking they were defective.
