Minisd removable drive not showing

[cauzomb]

scratch that last suggestion, all it does is allow/deny users to access managment tools for those devices, it doesn't actually stop the device from showing up in my computer. anyone know how to change the security properties of an item that is blocking all users "including administrators" from accessing the security settings? is there a registry setting I can change to re-allow permissions to the administrator account?

This aint the only problem im having, my laptop wont recognize my TV either via Svideo. I think theres something stopping things from runing properly - maybe even a corrupted file. Thanks agian

I am not sure what item you were referring to but normally, either in the 'Policies' section of the registry or using Global Policy Editor, a restriction could be implemented.
Devices of this sort are more susceptible to being blocked by placing 'filtering' values in the registry or by a third party system driver (xxx.sys file) that could make a drive or file/folder invisible to user or even the OS.

Since he can see and even access the drive through Disk Manager which acts different than Explorer and command line to access the drive, the problem should be something with either the formatting of the drive/media or a problem within Windows File System hence the other problem he mentioned.

To my best knowledge, the Media cards should be formatted in standard FAT format unless otherwise is stated by the manufacturer of the card and even more importantly as Cauzomb mentioned before, this type of a card should not be formatted within Windows but using the device it belongs to (in this case the camera).

Final suggestions: Removing the devices in Device Manager, then unplugging the related device and rebooting the system then re-inserting the device might help (I am sure someone might have already suggested this before).

The other would be to check Windows Update site for a -possible- related update that your system might need...also checking for update for your mobo drivers as well as the BIOS.


Sorry Ya1, I couldn't offer much help.
