Vista Home Premium & Maxtor External One Touch III Turbo & WPD FileSystem
Volume Drive

In Devices, under Portable Devices it shows an exclamation point next to
Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume Driver.
I selected Update Driver and it said that the drive was updated
successfully.

When I try to access my Maxtor External Drive, I get a code 10 error. The
drive does not appear any where on my computer.
I used my Maxtor all the time, now all of a sudden it disappears from my
computer and at the same time I get a error code if I run its software.

Then I found out that I was also getting an error code 10 because of this
WPD Filesystem volume driver that says it updated, but really hasn't.
It makes me think that the 2 problems are connected and that maybe if I can
get the WPD driver to work, maybe my Maxtor will work also.

I shut down the computer & reconnected the Maxtor (Firewire) and then put my
computer back on hoping it will recognize the drive, but it doesn't.

Also, any time I put my computer on, I get an error message that Microsoft
windows has to load the WPD FileSystem Volume Driver.
I select okay. It goes throught the process of searching and installing, but
then generates an error code 10.
I go back to the Devices and select property on the WPD which still has an
exclamation point and sure enough it says Device cannot start Code 10 error.

Any ideas how to get this file to update. Nothing seems to work.

Every time I put my computer on it does the same thing, but nothing gets
installed.

Desperate! I have to be able to get on to this Maxtor Drive so that I can
format it. I seems to have bad sectors and I have to return it to Seagate
for a replacement. I really do not want to send it back with all my backup
files on it.

I have this same problem with Vista Business on my brand new Sony VAIO
laptop... it started happening after I installed the Windows Mobile Device
Center Update 6.1 from Microsoft.
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling and even deleting the INF files to get
this to stop and it still persists.
I just keep sending the error reports to Microsoft hoping that they come out
with a fix... tons of people are having this problem and it effects
everything from Windows-based mobile phones to SD cards, to practically
anything with a flash-memory and a USB connection.
