USB Flash Drive/Card Reader not in "Safely Remove Hardware" list
Recently, when I plugged in USB flash drive or card reader, the "Safely
Remove Hardware" list never show them anymore. It only shows the plugged infra-red device. Anyone who can help me to solve this problem? I would like these devices showed on the list again or otherwise I don't know how to safely remove them. Thank you very much for your kind help!

Yes, it shows on My Computer and it works properly. The only problem is I
cannot safely remove it. And it worked in the past. Best regards, Chris Lee. "Clayton" wrote: Does it show up in My Computer? "Chris" wrote in message ...

USB Flash Drive/Card Reader not in "Safely Remove Hardware" list
Is it any way to control this by modifying the registry?

Drives do not show in 'Safely Remove Hardware' if they are set up for write-through cacheing (optimised for fast removal). This should be the default option for flash memory drives. Write a short scrap file to your flash drive and then unplug it as soon as the activity light goes out. If the file is on the drive then you have write-through cacheing set up.

I have updated Write Caching and Safe Removal option to "Optimize for
performance" but the device still does not appear in the "Safely Remove Hardware" list! So weird! "M.I.5¾" wrote: "Chris" wrote in message ...

And if your first statement would be true then by default not a single USB drive would be shown in 'Safely remove hardware'. Uwe

USB Flash Drive/Card Reader not in "Safely Remove Hardware" list
Some more information:
When I remove the hardware and plug the USB drive again, it shows new hardware found. At this moment, the device shows on the "Safely Remove Hardware" list. However, once a drive letter is assigned to this device, it is removed from the "Safely Remove Hardware" list again! Is it possible that some viruses will cause this situation? If so, anyone know what viruses? I am using Norton 360 and I don't think it can detect all popular viruses. Best regards, Chris Lee.

USB Flash Drive/Card Reader not in "Safely Remove Hardware" list
If the device is detected as new each time then probably writing some of the required registry keys fails, so they are not found next time. One of these keys might be the 'capabilities' value which is the main criterion for a device beeing shown in 'Safely remove hardware'. Norton 360 is known for causing strange effects with USB drives.

Set USB Capabilities
you have to set the "capabilities" attribute in registry to dword hexdecimal = 6, to unlist from the safe removal, set to = 10. 0. make sure u know what you are doing. 1. on XP, right click on My Computer - Properties - Hardware - Device Manager, navigate to USB controler, and open properties for usb mass storage device. go to details tab, and note the device instance value ie. USB\VID_414&PID\22AF000000 2. run registry.exe navigate to that key local machine\system\controlset001\enum\usb\VID_414&PID\ 22AF000000 edit permission, set everyone to write, then click on "capabilities" and set to "6" OR "10", which one you prefer. 3. click on safe to remove icon, or if the icon is missing, run this "c:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll" 4. to remove other items in the safe removal list, just find the device instance ID, ie. cd rom, network card etc, and set value to "10", to add set value to "6" rempuii7 wrote: USB Flash Drive/Card Reader not in "Safely Remove Hardware" list 08-Jul-08 Chris;3505398 Wrote: Chris The reason you can't remove it safely now is because the more the computer use it the harder it is difficult to remove as more and more application are using it,and when you try to remove from safely remove hardware it will not allow anymore.
