Title: Windows 7 indecisive about working with flash drive
Post by: soybean on November 01, 2009, 05:34:59 PM

This is more of a comment rather than a question but replies are welcome.  I installed Windows 7 RC on a Compaq d530 CMT computer about 8 days ago.  Yesterday is when I first tried using flash drive with it.  Win 7 displayed a message saying a valid driver was not available and displayed a yellow triangle in Device Manager in the Universal Serial Bus Controllers section.  I deleted the device in Device Manager, restarted, tried the flash drive again, and got the same response.

Today, I tried a flash drive again and Win 7 accepted it as normal.  I have no idea why Win 7 changed it mind.

It exhibited the same characteristics on my initial install with a card reader...3rd boot  = fine.
Go figure.

Maybe Windows 7 is like grape juice.

I think you mean wine.  Grape juice will just go moldy with age.

That's what makes it so delicious. There's nothing like a big ol' moldy glass of warm grape juice first thing in the morning. Really, you should try it.  ::)

Then I must keep my grape juice away from mold.
What about Windows 7? Does it get better with age?
If you put it in a bottle?
