| | USB hardware re-appears after "safe removal" After clicking on the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon and clicking my external USB harddrive, I removed my external hard drive. After rebooting, the vista device manager shows that the external drive is attached even though nothing is plugged into the USB port. I have tried uninstalling the driver without success. Thanks for any suggestions. |
