    Flash Drive Not Recognized By Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit


    This machine will nor recognize an OCZ 8gb flash drive. It tries to install the drive and fails. When you try to update the driver it gives a This operation requires an "interactive window station" error. Have searched extensively for a fix. The drive works on other windows machines and the USB ports are fine. I have powered down and tried numerous other tricks to no avail. Need help.

    Best regards,

    Sounds as though it might be a permissions issue (C:\Windows\System32\drivers) on your machine. Do you only have a problem with the OCZ 8gb flash drive?

    Another place might be in Device Manager. First setup up an environment variale to show devices not present per this tutorial:
    Device Manager : Hidden Devices

    Then carefully delete any ghost USB devices (greyed out in Device Manager) and reboot your system.

    Then try the OCZ 8gb flash drive again.
