| 720383 | 2008-11-15 15:18:00 | My computer is having this problem where whenever i plug in a usb external hard drive or normal pen drive, a message pop up: 'windows is unable to load installer for volume. Contact your vendor' something like that. For pen drives which is small about less than 1 Gb it will have that message pop up bt i can still find the icon at my computer bt if its a big external hard drive, about 160Gb same message pops up n my computer will still say installation successful but no icon is found in 'my computer'. My computer is SP3 and i think is the drivers should be updated. Any idea what happens? Thanks | BT88 (13946) | ||

They'll be either be under application, or probably system, on the left Or find the errors above double click on it / them, then click on the link. See if any info comes up, about it. Then click on the links |
