USB Storage devices on Windows 7 x64 - WORKING FIX
Ok. Now i'm already on 32-bit version of Windows 7 and so far happy with that. The only hurting loss is RAM, but all other things seem to be perfect.
But still, i remember (just a couple of weeks ago!) myself having pain with my external HDDs, portable player and other devices. So here i am, posting TEMPORARY fix for this.
From an elevated command prompt (right click on the command prompt shortcut, run as administrator):
1) Type "bcdedit /set truncatememory 0x80000000" (no quotes)
2) Reboot
3) Go to control panel -> System and Security -> view amount of RAM and processor speed.
- It should report 4GB (2GB available)
To undo this, open an elevated command prompt again:
1) Type "bcdedit /deletevalue truncatememory" (no quotes)
2) Reboot
3) Go to control panel -> System and Security -> view amount of RAM and processor speed.
- It should report 4GB
BE SURE TO UNDO "deletevalue" THIS FIX AFTER THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED so you get all your memory back.
this fix was suggested at social.technet.microsoft.com, and it doesn't have any negative circumstances for your OS (at least, so far no reports), the only thing is that you loose half of RAM
