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.
