Default Windows Showing USB Mass Storage Driver That Is Not There

A few weeks ago, I settled in front of the PC to watch a streaming
movie. I had left a USB mass storage device plugged into the PC. All
of a sudden I got a blue screen. After removing the device and
rebooting and restoring, I got the situation taken care of and could
use the PC.

But, now every time I boot up, Windows detects new hardware in the USB
mass storage device. I go into Safely Remove Hardware and undo it. I
have even plugged it in, done the Safely Remove Hardware, and then
removed it. I also go into the Device Manager and uninstall it.
Unfortunately, it keeps coming back.

Just now I did a boot disk scan and got the blue screen of death
again. I was able to reboot properly again, but the Windows is still
detecting the device. I have tried shutting down, removing all
peripherals and rebooting. It happens each time.

Thanks for any help.



is it seen by disk management?
