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.
