Leo: Many thanks!
I had a very important file become corrupted -- probably due to the icon missing; and me not "safely removing the mass storage media" properly.
Your solution works like a charm.
KUDOS! Hopefully corrupt files are HISTORY
I did as u said...but still it didnt worked for me...The USB mass storage device is not showing on "Safely Remove Hardware"...........this is my nokia mobile that i connected...That icon even appears below in tray when only if i connect ipod..for that only it works.... ? can i do ?
Posted by: davesam at May 7, 2009 7:45 AMYour advice on how to get the Safely Remove Hardare does not work on my home edition XP. I first typed it exactly the way you said to type it and then tried every deviation on it I could think. It always said the location could not be found.
Posted by: Sylvia at May 13, 2009 12:26 PMThanks, Leo. I have this problem on a computer at work but the icon only disappears when a member of Advanced Users logs on. Administrators have no problem, never. I´m really worried.
Posted by: Eduardo at May 14, 2009 9:04 AMThanks SO much.
Worked Perfectly!
Posted by: Aaron at May 23, 2009 7:04 PMThanks for the info. I used the command you gave and it brought up the box as you said but it did not have my storage device in the box so I still had a problem. Any ideas?
Posted by: Anne at May 25, 2009 12:38 AMDid as you said, but no device is listed in the "safely remove" box that comes up. What do I do now?
