USB devices not recognized
Until just today all my usb devices and storage were working great. I am not sure why but all of a sudden my storage devices were not showing up and the safely remove hardware icon also did not appear.
My card reader which has 4 slots was gone. I searched and searched google until I found a post where the fellow removed all usb devices, shut down the computer, unplug it and pull the battery.
I did close to this except I went into the registry and went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/system/currentcontrolset/enum/USBSTOR
there I could see the names of the devices I wanted restored. So I clicked on them and deleted them, I then shut down completely and removed battery for 30 min.
After that time I booted up and of course had to reset BIOS and then booted into windows and yes woohoo there were my usb devices and storage.
Hope this helps someone out.
