![]() I chose to find the driver myself and had to browse to the c:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbstor.inf_xxxxxxxx directory before it would locate anything.īlammo! The darn thing finaly updated the driver to "USB mass storage device" (A tearfull heartwarming moment!) I found the USB device that was in error and right clicked it to get "update driver". USBSTOR.SYS which I copied to c:\windows\system32\driversĪlas, Vista still would not find them by itself, so next I went into the Device manager in windows. Usbstor.inf which I promptly copied to c:\windows\INF Inside each folder I found the missing files (so WTF can't Vista find em?) The second copy was in the very next folder, c:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbstor.inf_xxxxxxxx (different numbers where the x's are) The first copy was in c:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbstor.inf_xxxxxxxx (x = number, differs on each) There were actually 2 copies of them in 2 different folders. I found that the correct drivers had been stashed away by Vista ALL ALONG even though it was not able to locate them by itself (WHY MS, WHY?). ![]() Through sheer stubborness and a few dozen system restores, I kept digging at this until I was able to make/find my own solution. Updates were useless, and the vendor sites don't help much either. ![]() The Factory INF drivers and files were useless. In fact many solutions left me without USB drivers of any kind.thanX alot. Same thing I found, not one thing from any site was of any use to me at all.
