Vista - Flash Disk Found New Hardware

When connecting a flash disk vista won't install it but it's Vista Ready. It
makes the sound of a new connected device but won't find the necesary
drivers. I've installed the hotfix from the vista support mail, but still
nothing. NO flash disks seems to work.

So what's the problem?

Hej
I had exactly the same problem. I have 2 falsh keys and 3 cameraes, none of
them worked after I upgraded to Vista from XP.
I have got 3 horfixes from Microsoft (it seems it is a machine) because they
sent the same proposal 3 times and it didnt work.
I tried to:
1. delete the inccache.1 file in Windows/inf directory
2. when Vista says it cant instal the driver tell Vista to look in:
Windows/system2 (include all subdirectories)
3. look for a file called USBSTOR.INF in the Windows/inf directory. If it
isnt there you must get it from another computer or find it on the internet
(I did that yesterday). You just copy it to the mentioned directory and it
works (you even dont have to reboot). (I lhave a Danisjh Vista version but I
found the USBSTOR file on an American download site)
It worked for me.

Santa didn't help .. INFCACHE.1 can't be deleted. It says that i have need
permission to perform this task. I even tried to delete this file in Safe
Mode.
Tried to install without deleting the file. No hope.

I'm logged with Administrator and using a Windows Vista Buissness Edition.

I had the same problem and I followed what Poul wrote without deleting the
INFCACHE.1 file and it worked.

I only copied the files USBSTOR.INF and USBSTOR.PNF from onother machine and
it worked.

So INFCACHE.1 can't be deleted .. and for those how have the same problem
find USBSTOR.INF on google and copy it in c:\windows\inf

This Windows Vista does include it in the first install.
